Well, yes, you can. In fact, you can apply for permanent residence permit after only 1 month in Finland. The lady/guy at poliisi will question your mental health, but will happily take your money and submit your application.
The question you should be asking is: "Will I get it if I apply now?". I think the answer is probably no.
What if the processing of your application starts before September? Well, you'll be screwed. Then you'll have to go through appeal and so on and so forth.
The permanent residence permit is granted on the grounds on which you were granted your continuous residence permit. So, yes, you need to have a job by that time.

On a different topic, what is it with people magically getting divorced or losing their jobs just by the time they're getting their permanent RPs?

We just see the "hard" cases here. Easy ones don't need input from the forums.
