summarizeLaborMarket

Returns a concise natural-language labor-market summary with supporting metrics. Use this tool when the client wants an executive-style overview rather than a detailed breakdown of postings, skills, or companies.

Tool-specific notes

  • This tool is summary-first: the response centers on summaryText and then provides supporting fields such as postings, hiring companies, average duration, growth rates, and skills.
  • It is a strong follow-up tool after GetPostingTrends or GetHiringCompanies when a short narrative explanation is needed.
  • The returned fields can still be used by clients that need structured metrics in addition to the summary.
