## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `compare\_metros`: Compare wages for one occupation across multiple metro areas. Pass a list of 5-digit MSA codes \(e.g., \['47900', '42660', '12580'\] for DC, Seattle, Baltimore\). Returns the specified wage measure for each metro. Use list\_common\_metros\(\) to find codes. datatype: '04' \(Annual Mean, default\), '13' \(Media
- `compare\_occupations`: Compare wages across multiple occupations in one location. Pass a list of 6-digit SOC codes. Returns the specified wage measure for each occupation. Use list\_common\_soc\_codes\(\) to find codes. Up to 50 occupations per call.
- `detect\_latest\_year`: Report the OEWS data year this server answers from. OEWS releases annually in spring, and this server bundles the current release. Every tool defaults to that year. When BLS publishes a newer release, a new package version bundles it.
- `get\_data\_status`: Report which OEWS release this server answers from and where it came from. Returns the bundled data year and release, the BLS source files with their SHA-256 and publication dates, the retrieval date, and row counts. No API key is used or needed.
- `get\_wage\_data`: Get wage data for an occupation by SOC code. This is the primary tool for querying BLS OEWS wage statistics. occ\_code: 6-digit SOC code without dash \(e.g., '151252' for Software Developers, '131082' for Project Management Specialists\). See list\_common\_soc\_codes\(\) for common mappings. scope + area\_co

Returns annual and hourly wages at the mean and the 10th, 25th, median, 75th, and 90th percentiles \(25th/75th are the usual junior/senior anchors\), plus estimated burdened hourly rates using the specified burden multiplier range. Hourly figures are
- `list\_common\_metros`: List common metro area MSA codes for wage lookups. Use these codes with get\_wage\_data\(scope='metro', area\_code=...\). Pass the 5-digit MSA code \(the tool auto-pads to 7 characters\). For the full MSA list: https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/msa\_def.htm
- `list\_common\_soc\_codes`: List common SOC code mappings for federal IT and professional services. Use these codes with get\_wage\_data\(\) and other tools. SOC codes are 6 digits without a dash \(e.g., '151252' not '15-1252'\). For the full SOC list: https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes\_stru.htm
