Are corporations suddenly employing more people or are less of the population available to be workers? I used to have a small but dependable surplus of unemployed workers in each category, but now I am facing pretty scary shortages - in every category I only have razor thin supplies of extra workers, and recently lost a university when the university teacher supply did hit zero. I had senior doctors dip as low as just 56 unemployed or some such number - and it is the same with all the levels of managers and engineers. My basic levels of workers are down to around 10K unemployed each - which is a very thin margin to be at.
Each and every month I am adjusting my education priorities trying to avoid running completely out of any category of worker, but even though the population grows every month, my surplus workers continue to evaporate. I am thinking I might just have to pick the least damaging category - perhaps low level managers, and purposely let it run completely out!
I am on Little Upsilon, but am unsure how widespread this adjustment might be. I have a lot of electricity corporations - it could just be a small adjustment in their work forces that just happens to hit me especially hard... |

I just had this problem to, I thought it was because I had a couple new builds, but I thought I accounted for them a little better than I was hit. But I figured it was just my mistake, possibly not... |

Yep, noticed here with govt employees. I've tried raising the govt salaries recently to see if that algorithm got altered ( as in you used to have to pay at least 75% of corp to keep govt happy ). Too early really to say, will post results soon. |

fixing unemployement is as simple as creating another corp, underemployment has always been more dangerous then unemployment |

They were probably dragged to the nearest wall and shot. |
