Key drivers

  • Recent BLS Table 4 Total nonfarm quits rate is stable around 2.0 percent
  • July payroll employment weakness lowers worker-confidence and voluntary-quit pressure
  • June JOLTS openings and hires were little changed, arguing against a sharp break
  • Resolution is the seasonally adjusted Total nonfarm rate, not the Total private or not seasonally adjusted variant

Resolution

rule
Resolve to the first BLS-published seasonally adjusted Total nonfarm quits rate in JOLTS Table 4 for August 2026, reported as a percent and rounded as BLS publishes it. Use the first print only; ignore later revisions.
