Each market in this event resolves "Yes" if the seasonally adjusted US unemployment rate (U-3) for August 2026, as first reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Employment Situation Report (one decimal place), is above the listed threshold. Markets resolve independently — every threshold below the reported figure resolves "Yes".
