abstract: These functions provide a convenient interface for downloading data from
  the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics <https://www.bls.gov>. The functions in this
  package utilize flat files produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which contain
  full series history. These files include employment, unemployment, wages, prices,
  industry and occupational data at a national, state, and sub-state level, depending
  on the series. Individual functions are included for those programs which have data
  available at the state level. The core functions provide direct access to the Current
  Employment Statistics (CES) <https://www.bls.gov/ces/>, Local Area Unemployment
  Statistics (LAUS) <https://www.bls.gov/lau/>, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics
  (OEWS) <https://www.bls.gov/oes/> and Alternative Measures of Labor Underutilization
  (SALT) <https://www.bls.gov/lau/stalt.htm> data produced by the Bureau of Labor
  Statistics.
