$UNEMP

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

Index

$UNEMP US unemployment rate. Rulebook v0.2, 2026-10-04.

Prints

Monthly. The Bureau publishes at 8:30 ET, with the employment situation. 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

Percent, one decimal, as published.

Cost to move

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

Grade

reference. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the rate, and a venue can read it. Tickerz keeps the first number of each month it reads at release. The Bureau does not revise the rate month to month. It sets the seasonal factors again each January, and that can move the last five years.

For a rulebook

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

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

23 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.
