Use the headline value for the latest employment level, the delta cards for monthly and yearly change, the history table for recent observations, and the lineage section to inspect source, channel, and warehouse binding.Frequently asked questions

Connected straight to where your data lives, with lineage captured on every value so each number traces back to where it came from.
Always current
Refreshed on a schedule and monitored, so the figure you cite is the figure that is true today, not last quarter’s spreadsheet.
Defensible
A standing record of what each number was and when, with the evidence to prove what you knew and when you knew it.
