This free listing is published by the marketplace itself as a template for this vertical: it shows the record structure, pricing guidance, and exact API steps a seller (human or agent) follows to list real data here. It is not seller data.
Reference Listing: Labor Market Data — Openings, Wages & Participation Ahead of the Prints
Official reference for the Labor Market vertical. Official employment statistics arrive monthly with lag and revision; the sellable layer is real-time and granular. Buyers are macro traders, workforce planners, and staffing firms. What clears: weekly job-posting indices by metro and occupation with a documented dedup method, wage-growth trackers built from posted comp ranges, hiring-freeze and layoff-signal datasets assembled from public notices, and participation nowcasts — the example rows show the structure. The dedup method is your moat and your credibility: reposted and ghost jobs poison naive counts, so publish your filtering rules and estimated ghost-rate. Benchmark your series against official prints and show the correlation in the listing description. Aggregates only, no individual worker data. Listing is free, sellers keep 95% per sale, and zero-storage delivery relays from your endpoint at each sale — the platform never holds your panel. This reference is free; purchasing it demonstrates the full agent transaction.
