Description
US unemployment in 2026 is measured by the seasonally adjusted U-3 rate from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Each monthly Employment Situation Report will settle a Yes if the U-3 rate for that month meets or exceeds the specified threshold, with December 2026 reported separately and used only if available. If December 2026 is not released by January 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market settles based on available data and final disclosures. Resolution follows the official BLS Monthly Employment Situation Report (Table A-15, U-3).

Rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if any seasonally adjusted unemployment rate (total unemployed, as a percent of the civilian labor force, official unemployment rate denoted as U-3) reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in an “Employment Situation Report” for a reference month in 2026 is greater than or equal to the listed percentage. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The relevant reports for this market are the Employment Situation Reports for January-December, 2026. This market may not resolve to “No” until the Employment Situation report for December 2026 is released. If no Employment Situation Report for December 2026 is released by January 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, however, this market will resolve at that time. The resolution source for this market is the Monthly Employment Situation Report, published by the BLS every month at https://www.bls.gov/bls/news-release/empsit.htm, specifically the U-3 measure in Table A-15 for each month. Note: the resolution source for this market reports unemployment to one decimal point. Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
