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.
