Questions

What is the jobs print?
The headline change in total nonfarm payrolls, plus the unemployment rate published in the same Employment Situation release.
When does the jobs report come out?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics usually releases it at 8:30am Eastern Time on the first Friday of the month, unless the calendar says otherwise.
Why might payrolls on the page differ from a later BLS table?
The headline change prefers the settlement value from the release morning. The BLS level is revised afterward. The release page notes which source the number came from.
