      "question": "When will November 2026 payrolls be released?",
      "answer": "BLS schedules the Employment Situation for November 2026 for Friday, December 4, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. EST, or 13:30 UTC. This is the November reference month's report. The schedule can change, so check the official BLS calendar again before relying on that release time."
    },
    {
      "question": "Why can the November 2026 jobs report mean November 6?",
      "answer": "The phrase can refer to the month of publication rather than the month measured. The Employment Situation scheduled for November 6, 2026, covers October data. November data is scheduled for December 4. December 1 JOLTS is another separate release and also covers October, not November payrolls."
    },
    {
      "question": "When does Kalshi trading close for the December 4 jobs report?",
      "answer": "At the October 9 snapshot, the November payroll contracts showed an 8:29 a.m. EST close on December 4, one minute before the scheduled BLS release. Expected expiration was 10:00 a.m. EST. Those fields do not promise current availability or immediate payout; check the exact active contract and full rules on Kalshi."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does the first payrolls print always determine Kalshi settlement?",
      "answer": "No. The cited PAYROLLS terms say revisions made after expiration are excluded; they do not establish a universal first-print rule. The terms also address unavailable data and review contingencies. Traders should check the exact contract's expiration and settlement language, and seek clarification if the event and series source fields still conflict."
