$JOBS

No listing kit for $JOBS yet. A kit sets its strikes from 14 published numbers. This index publishes one a month and has none yet.

Index

$JOBS US nonfarm payrolls. Rulebook v0.2, 2026-10-04.

Prints

Monthly. The Bureau publishes at 8:30 ET, usually the first Friday. Read at 12:35, 13:35 and 14:35 UTC on weekdays. A month read at its release is timestamped with the next daily proof, at 12:40 UTC. A month loaded as history is not.

As first published

Sep 2026 was not read when it was first published. It is the Bureau's current figure, loaded later, and it settles nothing.

The number as first published is final for settlement. A revision by the source is shown beside it and never replaces it.

Fallback

A month that has not been published stays open. A month the Bureau never publishes is void. A revision is shown beside the number as first published.

Precision

Whole jobs. The Bureau publishes the level in thousands. The index is this month's level minus the previous month's level in the same release, times 1,000.

Cost to move

Not practical. Moving the month means changing the establishment survey the Bureau runs.

Grade

reference. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the number, and a venue can read it. Tickerz keeps the first number of each month it reads at release. The Bureau revises the prior two months with each release and benchmarks payrolls once a year.

For a rulebook

Settle on the number Tickerz first recorded for $JOBS for the month named in the contract, published at tickerz.com/x/jobs and in GET /api/indices/jobs, timestamped daily in Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps.

None on file yet. The Bureau publishes Oct 2026 on Nov 6 2026, 13:30 UTC.

24 months in the chart were loaded later: the Bureau's current figures, not the numbers as first published. The settlement file marks each one and gives it no settlement value.
