Are you expanding your military? They draw mainly from LLWs and cause shortages very quickly.
You can 'demote' higher professionals to LLW status (Departments > Labor > change profession of some workers).
Keep a look out for worker exchanges - sometimes people ask for LLWs if they're planning to expand their military. |
| Matt Patton (Golden Rainbow) | Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 08:29 pm
no I am not buying military
I demote nurses and llm all the time
I'll try running an ed at less than 120 set at 90
its like they just disappear I wish the retired would disappear |

stop upgrading corp production process effectivity. |

Matt education should be @ 180-200 for an econ
Also if ur moving 100K people now ur only going to have this prob later. Trade workers with someone that way u get 100K LLW but over all ages groups not just in a 5year period |

If youre talking about 120 ed priorities total then that will make NO difference at all Matt. They are ratios not effectiveness of your ed system.
Super is not right, too high an education index will lead to shorts of lower workers. Depending on your population 160 will do nicely. You dont need as high an education index as you used to nowadays so the old numbers that people banter about are no longer quite as valid.
If you have gone too mad on education the only thing you can do is buy more population to spread ed out a bit or as a very last ditch solution close a few schools/unis. |

I remember reading something about it being decided by the Powers that be, that automatic systems would remain active for one year, irregardless of how you do. Considering I have no LLWs myself, and pretty much can expect them to turn into useless professionals near instantly, it seems like a fairly good case. |

Lots of my countries are well over a year old WD. I too have found LLW going fast. The ideal education index required is not as high as it used to be, you more experienced players should have figured that by now. Either stop upgrading corps, you'll notice now less employees but higher salaries over all when upgraded effectivity, or dont raise your ed index so high, or go through the process of transferring/demoting/C3 taking and swapping.
The other thing Matt might want to look at is his birth/death rate and build hospitals accordingly. Or it may be a case of the notorious population bubble if he bought a whole load of pop at more or less the same time (a frequent error). |

maybe I need a higher LE I am at 58
ed 199 running at 90 priorities
135 health
60% social
will SSI affect workers most of em are retired or disabled |
| Crafty (Kebir Blue) | Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 10:47 pm
1) what is LE?
2) 200 is too high *I* reckon. Again, priorities are ratios of which sort of worker gets trained compared to other sorts. 90, 120, 180 or 240 makes no difference. People just use 120 because its easiest there being 12 worker types you set priorities for.
3) raising health a bit will increase your birth rate hence younger population over time
4) SS raises would help welfare (profit) but if you have huge retired/disabled/unemployed it would increase your SS bill somewhat but not loads. Doesnt effect age groups as far as I know
5) see 4, have 10 special clinics to get disabled back to work providing you have some private corps in your country. This is a slow process but helps over time. |

I think my problem is most of my llw are 50+ like 1/2 of them
fine I'll just convert llm, nurses and teachers
20+ rating on each all to train workers |
| Crafty (Kebir Blue) | Friday, July 22, 2011 - 12:17 am
Ah! LE is low then, improve health. It'll raise your birth rate too and reduce death rate up to a point. If people retire at 65 then obvious that is about where you want your life expectancy.
Nurses are best to convert to HLW if you look at the ages of each group. Others will have more straight away outside that age group range required so more HLW will disappear straight away. You can work this solution out for MLW and LLW too. |

Heh, in my case, operating with a 119 Education Index. I think I was one of the few who operated with a low education index, versus an ultra high one.
If it gets the job done, there's often not much point in paying more.
Your situation is true, but I'm still amused by the fact that I got beginner's boost, when I came back again. I'm wondering how many other uselessly annoying bits of "help" I somehow got requalified for. |
| Matt Patton (Golden Rainbow) | Sunday, July 24, 2011 - 11:19 pm
I found that SSI over 60% is a waste of money
it won't increase welfare anymore. but is worth a few score points like 20 or so
As long as I log in every update I can keep my llw
however 1 update is right when I need to leave for work |
