Before you use it
The API documentation exposes series-oriented access rather than a single unified labor database, so founders must understand each survey's series definitions and release behavior before comparing metrics.; United States-focused federal labor statistics; geography and coverage depend on the selected BLS program/series.; Series have program-specific release calendars and historical coverage; latest values can be revised and are not a timeless snapshot.
