US BLS Labor Statistics Scraper (Unemployment, CPI, Wages, Jobs)
Pull official U.S. labor and economic time series as clean, flat rows: unemployment, inflation (CPI), producer prices (PPI), payroll employment, wages, hours and job openings. Pick a plain-English indicator name (no cryptic codes needed) or paste raw series IDs, choose a year range, and export ready-to-analyse data for finance, HR, research and dashboards.
📥 Input · 📤 Output · 💰 Pricing · ▶️ Examples
| Unemployment, CPI & wages plus jobs and hours | Friendly names or raw series IDs | JSON / CSV / Excel output formats |
What you get
Each record is a single flat data point with:
- Series ID and a readable indicator name (and survey name where available)
- Year, period code, period name (e.g. June, Annual, 1st Quarter) and a period type (monthly, quarterly, annual)
- A normalised date and the value for that point
- Net changes and percent changes over 1, 3, 6 and 12 months (when a registration key is supplied)
- A latest flag on the most recent point, footnotes, the source and an observed timestamp
Instead of forcing you to memorise codes, this Actor ships friendly indicator presets: unemployment-rate, cpi-inflation, cpi-core, nonfarm-payrolls, avg-hourly-earnings, ppi-final-demand, job-openings, quits and more. You can still paste any raw BLS series ID.
Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Finance & macro | Analysts tracking inflation, wages and the labor market |

| Research & policy | Economists building consistent time series |

How to use it

unemployment-rate,cpi-inflation) or raw series ID. - Set a start year and end year.
- Set Max Records and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an account or key? No. It runs out of the box on the free public access. Add your own free registration key in the optional field to raise the limits and unlock month/year change calculations and richer metadata.
Do I have to know series IDs? No. Use the plain-English presets listed in the input. Series IDs are still accepted for anything not covered by a preset.
Which indicators are covered? Unemployment and participation, CPI inflation (headline, core, food, energy), producer prices, payroll employment, average hourly earnings and weekly hours, and JOLTS job openings, hires, quits and layoffs. Any other BLS series works by its ID.
What do the change columns mean? When a registration key is supplied, each point includes the net and percent change over 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, so you can read year-over-year inflation or wage growth directly.
Will I be charged if a run finds nothing? No. You are only charged per real data point returned. A run that matches no data produces no billable results.
