Will above 30000 jobs be added in August 2026?

How this settles

Resolves YES if the Bureau of Labor Statistics Monthly Employment Situation Report shows total non-farm payroll employment increased by more than 30,000 in August 2026.

• Initial release vs. later revisions — BLS revises payroll figures in subsequent months; the contract likely settles on the first (advance) print, but the rules don't explicitly state which release is used, creating ambiguity if a revision crosses the 30,000 threshold.
• Strictly above 30,000 — not at or above — The rules say 'above 30,000,' meaning an exactly 30,000 print resolves NO, so a position holder near that boundary faces a strict inequality, not ≥.
• Report release timing vs. settlement date — The August 2026 jobs report is typically released in early September 2026, so the contract cannot settle in August itself — traders should account for this timing gap.
