Perplexity

Checking consumer spending details.

If you want to analyze Great Britain's retail sales, use `get_retail_sales`. This gives monthly data on both the value and volume of consumer spending. It's non-seasonally adjusted. Want a closer look? The `get_spending_cards` tool provides weekly debit/credit card usage data, acting as an experimental real-time indicator.

Getting household income effects.

The `get_tax_benefits` tool shows how direct and indirect taxation, plus benefits (in cash or kind), affect UK household income. This is great for policy analysis. For a broader view of economic activity, the `get_trade` dataset provides monthly data on goods trade—imports and exports—by country pair.

Analyzing workforce changes.

Use `get_business_counts` to get UK business numbers broken down by industry and geography from the IDBR. It helps pinpoint specific local market activity. Don't forget about job mobility data; the `list_datasets` tool lets you browse 337+ datasets that cover trade, population, and much more.
