Description

This event tracks the performance of professional, scientific, and technical services employment in Washington state by the end of 2026. It focuses on whether employment numbers exceed specific thresholds as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The outcome depends on official BLS data for December 2026.

Kalshi

The event resolves based on whether the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports Washington state's seasonally adjusted employment in Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services for December 2026 exceeds one of several sequential thresholds: 265,000, 270,000, 275,000, or 280,000 jobs. The resolution uses the first non-preliminary BLS estimate for that month, with employment measured in thousands of jobs. Any subsequent revisions to the data do not affect the outcome. Each threshold represents a distinct market, and the market resolves to Yes if the reported employment figure surpasses its specific threshold, with the highest threshold providing the most stringent condition.
