  • Above 4.9% — the market puts it at 98%, closing 19 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if China's official unemployment rate for September 2026 exceeds 4.9%. It is No if the rate stays at or below that threshold. Readers often mistake the resolution date for the data release date rather than the specific month the statistic covers.
