US July 2026 Jobs Report (BLS, August 7, 2026): Nonfarm Payrolls exceed 80,000 new jobs

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 18. July 2026 · Predicted for 7. August 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

72%

The US labor market has been resilient throughout 2026: June added 172,000 jobs (vs 85,000 consensus), unemployment at 4.3%. The 80,000 threshold is well below the six-month trend. Risks: energy sector layoffs at lower WTI prices (this platform predicts WTI >$80/bbl on July 22 — moderate oil prices), Iran conflict dampening capital investment. Even a significant labor market slowdown is unlikely to breach 80,000. No specific Polymarket market for July 2026 NFP available.

Verdict: Miss

Der BLS-Bericht vom 7. August 2026 wies einen Rückgang der Nonfarm Payrolls um -23.000 Stellen aus – weit unter der Schwelle von +80.000 und sogar im negativen Bereich. Hauptursachen: Lokale Bildungsbehörden verloren 50.000 Stellen, Einzelhandel -19.000, Finanzsektor -14.000. Zudem wurden die Vormonatswerte massiv nach unten revidiert (Juni: von +57.000 auf +20.000; Mai: von +129.000 auf +63.000). Die angenommene Robustheit des Arbeitsmarkts auf Basis der Juni-Zahl (+172.000) erwies sich als nicht zutreffend, da diese Zahl selbst stark revidiert wurde.
