Release window

Where Employment Situation lands in the trading day

1 hour before the 9:30 AM Eastern U.S. equity open, so the figure is public before the first trade of the session rather than during it.

What it measures

Employment Situation, in one paragraph

The Employment Situation is the monthly U.S. jobs report. It carries two separate surveys: employers report payroll jobs, hours, and earnings, while households supply the unemployment rate and labor-force participation, which is why its two headline numbers can move in opposite directions.

What JMM reads first

Do not start with the headline payroll change. It is a first estimate, and the same release revises the two months before it, so the number everyone reacts to at 8:30 is the one most likely to be different by the time it matters. Read the revisions first, then the unemployment rate and participation from the household survey, then the headline. If the two surveys disagree, that is information rather than an error.
