Will above 70000 jobs be added in August 2026?

How this settles

Resolves YES if the BLS Monthly Employment Situation Report shows total non-farm payroll employment increased by more than 70,000 in August 2026.

• Initial release vs. later revisions — The BLS revises payroll figures in subsequent months; if the contract settles on the first print but a revision later crosses the 70,000 threshold (or vice versa), traders holding positions based on the final number could be caught off-guard.
• Strictly above 70,000 — exact print excluded — The rules say 'above 70,000,' meaning an exactly 70,000 print resolves NO, so a position near that boundary carries asymmetric risk.
• Report release timing vs. settlement date — The August 2026 Employment Situation is typically released in early September 2026, so the contract likely doesn't settle until that release date, affecting how long capital is tied up.
