30 minutes into the U.S. equity session, so it lands in live trading rather than ahead of it.

What it measures

Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, in one paragraph

The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey counts unfilled openings, hires, and separations split into quits and layoffs. The quits line is the part that reads worker confidence rather than employer demand.

What JMM reads first

Openings get the headline and quits carry the signal. People leave voluntarily when they believe another job is available, so the quits rate turns before the unemployment rate does. JOLTS also runs a month behind the Employment Situation, which is why it is context rather than news.

The release clock

BLS publishes at 2 times of day, and this is one of them

10:00 AM ET 174
8:30 AM ET 139

Every one of the 313 dated BLS entries JMM holds lands on one of these 2 clock times. This release uses the busier of the two: 174 entries across 44 releases, 56% of the calendar. It lands inside the U.S. equity session rather than before it. Read in UTC the same slot would look like 2 different habits, because the published file carries a real timezone: the release holds 10:00 AM Eastern through daylight saving and it is the UTC instant that moves. Grouping on the publisher's own clock is what keeps that one habit one row.
