Will above 80000 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 80,000 in August 2026.

• Initial release vs. later revisions — The BLS revises payroll figures in subsequent months; the rules don't specify which print (first release or a revision) is used, creating ambiguity if the initial report is near the 80,000 threshold but later revised above or below it.
• Strictly above 80,000 — not at — The rule says 'above 80,000,' meaning an exact print of 80,000 resolves NO, so positions near the threshold must account for this strict inequality.
• August 2026 report release timing — The BLS typically releases the August employment situation in early September, so settlement won't occur in August itself — traders should not expect resolution until ~September 4–5, 2026.
