Labor launches new open data portal
""The department's new data portal is a significant improvement, featuring better integration with other federal data sources and enhanced artificial intelligence compatibility for finding, visualizing and using data," Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement. "This is a win for everyone - from data scientists and researchers to journalists and the general public - who want to understand our department's work and enforcement actions.""
""Notably, Labor said the platform includes access to its modern application programming interface that will allow users to retrieve machine-readable metadata and data through more tailored requests. Since it first soft-launched the portal in October 2024, the agency said "more than 1,400 users have registered for a free API account and queried the API over 5 million times." According to the portal's " Getting Started " page, users will first need to authenticate with Login.gov and complete a registration process to receive an API key,""
The Labor Department unveiled a beta open data portal that replaces its antiquated enforcement data page and provides more granular U.S. workforce statistics. The portal expands available datasets to include weekly unemployment insurance claims, federal contractor veteran employment, and county-level childcare prices. The platform features better integration with other federal data sources and enhanced compatibility with artificial intelligence tools for finding, visualizing, and using data. A modern application programming interface enables machine-readable metadata and tailored data requests; over 1,400 users registered and queried the API more than five million times. Users must authenticate via Login.gov and register for an API key. The portal brings the department into compliance with the OPEN Government Data Act.
