Will above 60000 jobs be added in October 2026?

How this settles

Resolves YES if the BLS Monthly Employment Situation Report shows total non-farm payroll employment increased by more than 60,000 in October 2026.

• Initial release vs. later revisions — BLS non-farm payroll figures are routinely revised in subsequent months; if the contract settles on the first (advance) print, a later revision crossing the 60,000 threshold in either direction is irrelevant, but traders must confirm which print is used.
• Strict 'above' threshold — 60,000 excluded — The rules say 'above 60,000,' meaning an exact print of 60,000 resolves NO; traders long YES need the number to be at least 60,001.
• October 2026 report release timing — The October 2026 Employment Situation is typically released in early November 2026, so contract settlement will lag the reference month by several weeks, affecting position management timing.
