Will the June 2026 U.S. unemployment rate be at least 4.4%?

This market resolves YES if the initial BLS Employment Situation release for June 2026 reports an official U-3 unemployment rate of at least 4.4 percent, seasonally adjusted. Use the household-survey U-3 unemployment rate for June 2026 from the first BLS Employment Situation release. A value of 4.4% or higher resolves YES. A value of 4.3% or lower resolves NO. Do not use total nonfarm payroll employment, household employment level, labor-force participation, U-6, metro-area or state unemployment rates, demographic subseries, non-seasonally-adjusted values, forecast consensus, or later revisions unless BLS corrects the initial June 2026 release before resolution. If the June 2026 Employment Situation release is delayed, wait for the first BLS release containing the June 2026 U-3 unemployment rate unless there is no such release by July 9, 2026, in which case resolve N/A.
