fread_bls

This function downloads a tab-delimited BLS flat file, incorporating 
diagnostic information about the file and returning an object with the
bls_data class that can be used in the BLSloadR package.

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.
