Perplexity

Pull inflation and wage trends instantly

The `query_bls` tool lets you pull raw macroeconomic data from all six major BLS datasets right inside your chat. Instead of hunting through messy government spreadsheets, you just feed the specific numerical series IDs to your agent. You get instant access to CPI, JOLTS, and OEWS figures. Claude Desktop formats these raw numbers into clean markdown tables or charts on the spot.

Run bulk economic lookbacks on Claude Desktop

The `query_bls` tool handles up to 50 concurrent series lookbacks in a single request. You don't have to rate-limit yourself or write custom script loops to fetch historical unemployment or local metrics. Just drop a list of Series IDs into the chat window. Your agent calls the tool once and processes the entire batch, letting you compare regional employment shifts side-by-side.

Map local labor markets with LAUS metrics

The `query_bls` tool exposes localized employment and labor force data directly from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program. You get granular economic insights down to the state and metro level. Claude Desktop digests these geographic codes to highlight regional hiring trends. It's the fastest way to map out local market conditions without writing a single line of Python.
