The first hour

The rest of the day

The first five minutes went up 0.04%. At the 16:00 ET close the Nasdaq 100 was up 0.95% from the release price, so by the measure on the JOLTS page this release was a trend: the close was on the same side of the release price as the 5-minute mark. That compares two moments, not the path between them.
