Will September 2026 U.S. nonfarm payroll employment increase by at least 150,000?

This market resolves YES if the initial BLS Employment Situation release for September 2026 reports that total nonfarm payroll employment increased by at least 150,000 jobs. Use the headline establishment-survey change in total nonfarm payroll employment, seasonally adjusted. A value of +150,000 or higher resolves YES. A value of +149,000 or lower resolves NO. Negative values resolve NO. Do not use the unemployment rate, household-survey employment, labor-force participation, ADP, initial claims, JOLTS, average hourly earnings, private-payrolls-only, sector payrolls, state payrolls, forecast consensus, or later revisions unless BLS corrects the initial September 2026 release before resolution. If the September 2026 Employment Situation release is delayed, wait for the first BLS release containing the September 2026 headline total nonfarm payroll change unless there is no such release by October 9, 2026, in which case resolve N/A.
