I vaguely remember an article that said that some folks get the BLS data a few milliseconds faster than everyone else and avail themselves of this first mover advantage -- don't quote me on that, though. Regardless, I somehow doubt this API will be useful for first mover advantage unless perhaps you are already doing this type of technical trading in the finance industry.
