Based on: Statistical Pattern
Economist consensus stands at +55,000 (range: -25,000 to +102,000; Goldman Sachs +65,000, Wells Fargo +80,000). July 2026 printed -23,000 — the first negative reading since 2020. The S&P Global Flash Services PMI for August rose to 56.8, but this has not translated into stronger hiring. The existing open call 'Payrolls below 100,000' is less specific; this prediction sets the threshold at the more informative 75,000 level.
