Description

This event tracks Wisconsin's manufacturing employment performance over the entire year of 2026. It measures whether the state's manufacturing sector maintains a specific level of job creation as officially recorded by federal labor statistics. The outcome reflects broad trends in Wisconsin's industrial activity during that period.

Kalshi

All markets resolve based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' officially published annual-average manufacturing employment figure for Wisconsin in 2026, drawn from Table 1 of the Annual Average report covering Employees on nonfarm payrolls by major industry. The relevant BLS monthly series SMS55000003000000001 (Wisconsin Manufacturing, All Employees) informs the annual average, but only the formally released annual-average value determines resolution. Markets have different threshold levels (452,500; 455,000; 457,500; or 460,000 jobs) above which they resolve to Yes. All markets share identical secondary rules regarding data sourcing and calculation methodology.
