To generate a market sizing report for a NAICS industry code, run the research.py CLI which combines BLS QCEW employment and wage data, Census CBP establishment counts, and FRED economic indicators into a single markdown document.

Yes, you can retrieve BLS QCEW employment and wage data by NAICS code using the Python-based research.py script, which requires the httpx library and a valid BLS_API_KEY configured in your environment.

Estimating market size using economic indicators requires combining BLS QCEW employment metrics, Census CBP establishment and payroll data, and FRED time-series observations for macroeconomic context.

Yes, retrieving Census CBP and FRED time series data requires setting the CENSUS_API_KEY and FRED_API_KEY environment variables so the httpx client can authenticate requests and fetch observations.

The best way to get establishment and payroll counts by state for an industry is querying Census CBP and Economic Census data through the research.py script, which formats the output into a structured report.

A limitation when combining BLS QCEW and FRED series for market sizing is data availability and API rate limits, which can affect the completeness of time-series observations and industry-level metrics in the final report.
