State employment snapshot

Employed persons per state from ABS Labour Force.

snapshot ABS

What it answers

How many people are employed in each state and territory? This returns employed persons per state from the ABS Labour Force survey in one snapshot. It gives the state-by-state employment picture without querying each region separately.

Call it

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer ak_your_key' \

Returns

Every response uses the same envelope, {data, meta, links}. The data field carries the answer (an object for a single snapshot, a list when there is one row per entity). The meta field carries the trust contract: the reference periods, retrieved_at, the per-source attribution you reproduce on publish, and the stale flag. The links field offers a csv alternative when one is available.

Draws from

This signal joins data from one source. Each source page lists the underlying datasets and canonical series.

Cross-source signals join multiple sources into one response. Reliability: a signal returns current data or a clear 503; it never serves an older vintage as the current answer.
