Tools

`search_jobs`

Searches current jobs across all 20 boards. Returns 5 to 10 jobs, each with its title, employer, location, posted date, and a link to the job page on the board that lists it, plus a link to see more.

Input	What it takes
`what`	A role or skill, such as "dental hygienist", "forklift", or "payroll". Leave it out to list the newest jobs.
`where`	A city with its state ("Columbus, OH"), a state, a ZIP code (searches its whole state), or "remote". Leave it out for the whole U.S.
`remote`	`true` for remote jobs only.
`limit`	How many jobs to return, 5 to 10. Defaults to 10.

`unemployment_answers`

Gives a checked answer about unemployment benefits for one state: how much it pays, how to apply, how long it lasts, and more. Each answer carries the state agency's own link and the date we checked it.

Covered states: Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah. For any other state, the tool gives the federal page that finds that state's unemployment office. It never guesses at a figure.
