Question 1

How much were the last two payroll prints revised?

Accepted Answer

Ask your agent in plain words; it calls get_macro_revisions. How a macro series has been revised since first publication: for each recent period the first print, every revision with its date and the current value, plus the period change as first reported versus now (the headline payrolls revision; GDP's advance, second and third estimates) and a count of upward and downward revisions. Works for any series with a publication history.

Question 2

Show the advance, second and third estimates of recent GDP quarters.
