June 2026 factory job openings was restated from 481,000 to 501,000, a 4.2% upward revision. Anything indexed to the first print — escalator clauses, quoted material adders, budget baselines — now sits 4.2% away from the official number.

• As first published: 481,000 (August 4, 2026)
• As restated: 501,000 (September 1, 2026)

Revisions of this size are routine for survey-based series — early prints are built on partial responses and completed later — but routine does not mean harmless. The first print was published August 4, 2026; the restatement landed September 1, 2026. Both values remain queryable: the vintage archive pins every number this series has ever shown, so a contract that referenced the June 2026 print can cite exactly what was published and when.
