We homogeneously reduce the new JWST data and combine them with existing observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. We select a robust sample of ~80 candidate quiescent and quenching galaxies at 3=10^10.6^M_{sun}_) quiescent galaxies consistent with previous estimates relying on ground-based observations, after homogenizing the results in the literature with our mass and redshift intervals. However, we find significant field-to-field variations of the number densities up to a factor of 2-3, highlighting the effect of cosmic variance and suggesting the presence of overdensities of red quiescent galaxies at z>3, as could be expected for highly clustered massive systems. Importantly, JWST enables the robust identification of quenching/quiescent galaxy candidates at lower masses and higher redshifts than before, challenging standard formation scenarios. Description: We homogeneously process the publicly available JWST imaging obtained with the NIRCam, NIRISS, and MIRI instruments in 11 fields targeted during the first 3 months of operations. We further incorporate the available optical and near-infrared data available in the Complete Hubble Archive for Galaxy Evolution (CHArGE; Kokorev+ 2022ApJS..263...38K). See Section 2.1. We provide further details about the individual fields in Appendix A.
