About This Market

This market asks which headline jobs figure will be reported for February 2026; it matters because the monthly employment report is a key indicator of labor-market strength and influences markets and policy expectations.

The outcome will be based on the official national employment report for February 2026 (the market page will specify the exact statistical agency and series). Historically, monthly jobs releases combine survey-based payroll counts, unemployment and participation measures and are sometimes revised in subsequent months, so single-month prints can move sentiment and asset prices even if later changes occur.

Prediction market odds reflect traders' collective assessments of which numeric range the headline jobs metric will fall into; they are a real-time gauge of market expectations, not a definitive causal explanation.

Key Factors

Frequently Asked Questions

Which official report does this Kalshi market use to determine the 'Jobs numbers in Feb 2026' outcome?

The market settles to the official national employment report specified on the market page (for U.S.-focused markets this is typically the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation for February 2026); check the market description to confirm the exact series and source.

When is the February 2026 jobs report released and how long after release does this market typically settle?

The official monthly jobs report is generally published on the designated release date by the relevant statistics agency (for the U.S. this is usually the first Friday of the following month); the market settles according to the exchange's settlement rules after the agency posts the official figure, so consult the market page for precise settlement timing.

What do the 13 outcomes in this market represent?

The 13 outcomes are discrete, mutually exclusive ranges defined by the market for the headline jobs metric (typically the month-to-month payroll change); each outcome corresponds to a specific numeric band shown on the market page.

How should traders account for revisions to prior months when interpreting the Feb 2026 result?

Revisions to prior months are released periodically and can change the apparent trend; treat the initial February print as one data point in a series and monitor concurrent revisions and subsequent releases for a fuller picture of labor-market momentum.

What near-term data or events should participants watch that could influence the February 2026 jobs print?

Relevant inputs include weekly unemployment insurance claims, private payroll estimates (e.g., payroll processors or ADP-style reports), PMI and retail sales data, major corporate hiring or layoff announcements, and any disruptive weather or labor actions occurring during the survey period.
