This market will resolve according to the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate reported in the Statistics Bureau of Japan's Labour Force Survey for February 2026. The resolution source for this market is the Labour Force Survey for February 2026. Upon release, the survey will be made available at: https://www.stat.go.jp/data/roudou/index.html. The next data release is scheduled for March 31, 2026, according to the official calendar (https://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/roudou/1543.html). This market will resolve as soon as the relevant data is issued. Any revisions to the data after the first release will not count toward this market's resolution. If no data for the specified month is released by the date the next month's data is scheduled to be released, this market will resolve based on data from the last available month. Note: the resolution source for this market reports unemployment to one decimal point. Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.

Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 61% implied probability for Japan's February unemployment rate at 2.7%, reflecting steady labor market conditions after January's figure held at 2.6%—unchanged from December—amid a record-high jobs-to-applicants ratio of 1.29. This positioning stems from recent Statistics Bureau data showing persistent tightness, with job growth outpacing openings despite minor seasonal pressures, aligning with economist forecasts from Bloomberg and Reuters centering on 2.7%. Bank of Japan officials continue monitoring wage momentum and employment for potential policy normalization, keeping lower outcomes like 2.6% (9.5%) viable but secondary. The official release, expected early March, could shift odds based on any surprises in nonfarm payroll equivalents or revisions.
