Resolves to the first-published June 2026 BLS CES all-employees value for CES9091911001 (Federal government, Department of Defense), seasonally adjusted, in thousands of workers. Later benchmark revisions, seasonal-factor updates, or database refreshes do not change the resolved value unless BLS replaces the first July 2, 2026 release on that publication date.
