Analysis
This question asks whether Meta will employ more than 78,000 people by the end of Q2 2026. The 3% probability suggests market participants view significant headcount growth above this threshold as unlikely in the near term. Meta's workforce trajectory depends on hiring pace relative to attrition and any restructuring announcements. The company has signaled focus on AI and infrastructure investment, which could drive recruiting, but prior cost-cutting initiatives suggest management prioritizes operational efficiency. Resolution hinges on Meta's official Q2 2026 earnings report, typically released in late July or early August, where the company discloses headcount in regulatory filings. Contract pricing across the 76,000-to-78,000 range reflects investor skepticism about rapid expansion, with lower thresholds commanding only marginally higher odds. Near-term hiring announcements, earnings guidance, or strategic pivots could shift these expectations.

How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
