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

What it measures

State Employment and Unemployment (Monthly), in one paragraph

State Employment and Unemployment carries payroll employment and unemployment rates for every state, published a week or two after the national jobs report it disaggregates.

What JMM reads first

The national rate is an average of fifty very different labor markets, and the spread between the best and worst state is usually wider than any month-to-month move in the headline. This release is where that spread is published.

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.
