Iâ€™ve tried diagnosing it myself for several days now but nothing is working and I canâ€™t figure out whats wrong. My main countryâ€™s name on FB is â€œThe Country of Gondoliaâ€ Thanks!

You'll probably need to increase your education index, to be able to provide enough educated workers, so that you can employ your people.
joshroth14	Thursday, March 5, 2020 - 03:13 am Hmmm okay. So build more universities?
joshroth14	Thursday, March 5, 2020 - 05:32 am Im also building corporations non stop, could this be a reason as well? The constant building of the corps each month?

Currently, you don't have enough High Tech Engineers, to staff enough Corporations, to employ your people. Train more by adjusting your education priorities, and increasing your education index. Education Index is calculated by Schools / Needed x 100 = School Index High Schools / Needed x 100 = High School Index Universities / Needed x 100 = University Index The lowest of those three indexes is your education index A good education index is upto 200, to reach this, you'll need twice as many of each type of school as the 'needed' figure. Your 'needed' figures are currently Schools 4,662 Highschools 2,239 Universities 34 Having that many, would result in an education index of 100, which is far too low. Instead, you want to aim for twice that. Your goal would currently be... Schools 9,324 Highschools 4,478 Universities 68 Make sure to increase each type at the same time, because the index is the comes from the lowest of the three indexes, not the average. As your population grows, your 'needed' numbers will increase. Don't forget to keep building more Schools, Highschools, and Universities. So that your education system keeps up with your population growth.
