I'm no scientist but using simple math and some physics: If we take the latest world population count of 7,632,819,325 people and assume everyone would have at least 50kg mass. If all people jump at once then the force of impact would be:
7,632,819,325 x 50 x 9.8 Newton = 3,740,081,469,250
which I think is enough to generate a minor earthquake. Also when you jump, a sound is also generated, some kind of sonic wave after. It might not mean much when only a hunred people do it at the same time but when 7.8Billion do it, a sonic wave of that magnitude released all at once will really cause some minor damages. I Think! XD
According to the data there are about 7 billion people on earth. All of them have a total weight of approximately 363 billion kilograms. You certainly can imagine it not. A study conducted by physicist Rhett Allain states that nothing will happen if all humans make a jump together. That is because humans are spread evenly throughout the surface of the earth so there is not much that will happen even though all of them jump and stomp them to the earth. The stiff style will be opposite to each other, so the total style is zero.
But if humans gather in a place and make jumps at once with the law of conservation of momentum and energy, Allain finds that the leap will push the Earth backwards at a speed of 2.6 x 10 * -13 m / s (rank -13). That is, in one second, the Earth will move one hundredth of the radius of a single hydrogen atom. Certainly not much effect, right?
Interesting Question! XD

A very small effect on the planet.
We would all certainly be "raising the roof" and having a great time.
I can't think of any other reason why the entire human race would otherwise jump simultaneously.
