Carbon Arc Skills

Skills are a new way to put Carbon Arc to work right away. They draw on the expertise we've built over a year of published research across a wide range of use cases, including pre-earnings reads, shifts in customer behavior, and reads on local economies. Ask a question in plain English, and Skills will query the Carbon Arc MCP to build a sourced report for you. Read more

U.S. Job Postings (CA0097J) now in Block

Our new U.S. Job Postings data asset provides row-level data on 512M+ unique job postings from 2010 to the present, delivered weekly with about a five-day lag. Coverage spans 3M+ employers, 74K+ job titles, 1,012 industries, and 767 detailed SOC occupations, with geography at the city, county, MSA, state, and national levels across all 50 states and 925 MSAs. Each posting includes employer and industry (NAICS), job title, occupation, required skills, education and experience, advertised salary, seniority, and posted and expiry dates, which makes the data asset useful for tracking hiring demand, labor costs, and workforce strategy.

Credit Card – US Neo (CA0086) Pipeline Enhancements

Credit Card – US Neo is now built on a single unified panel with full history, which makes the data more consistent across entities. Spend and Transactions are unchanged. The Card Users insight is now a cleaner estimated distinct count that removes double counting across cities, so it will read slightly lower (median change of about −0.4%, up to −19% on all-transaction location views) and will never read higher than before.

Platform Design

Over the next few weeks, we're rolling out design updates that bring new styles across the platform for easier reading and navigation. We'll keep the experience as close to today's as possible, but you may notice some differences in styling as pages move to the new design system.
