This is a market about the seasonally adjusted total number of job openings in the United States in July 2026, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). This market will resolve to the bracket containing the seasonally adjusted total number of job openings for the total nonfarm sector in July 2026, as reported in the monthly JOLTS report published by the BLS. The resolution source for this market will be the BLS Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey report released for July 2026 (https://www.bls.gov/jlt/), currently scheduled to be released on September 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data. Note: the resolution source for this market will be the official monthly JOLTS report, which reports job openings in thousands of openings. Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. Rounding employed in the headline figure will not impact settlement, where a more precise figure is reported. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. If the BLS does not release the relevant figures on the scheduled date, this market may remain open up until the scheduled release time of the next JOLTS report (https://www.bls.gov/schedule/2026/home.htm). If the information is not released by that time, this market will resolve according to the figures of the most recent previous month with available data.Recent softening in U.S. labor demand shapes trader positioning ahead of the September 1 JOLTS release. June job openings fell 178,000 to 7.359 million—below the 7.44 million consensus—following May’s 7.594 million reading that marked a two-year high. This pullback, concentrated in healthcare, leisure, and wholesale trade, aligns with broader cooling signals including stable but subdued hiring and separation rates. Market-implied odds cluster tightly around 7.3–7.5 million, reflecting uncertainty over whether the June decline marks a trend or a temporary dip. Key swing factors include upcoming August employment data and any revisions to prior months that could influence the July print.
