I've been saying this for the last few weeks. The only thing that might explain it is the selling of population. I've only sold population on Little Upsilon but my FB main is dropping people like flies.
When you combine this with expected corporation worker changes that are not announced you can have huge problems.
This week I logged in to see I needed 1.7milliom High Tech Engineers, 400K High Tech Seniors and was short 1.8 million Low level Workers.
This was empire wide and scaled down in smaller countries but pretty much hit me everywhere at once. I've added 5 million pop already, probably more and am still short on workers with a 200 education index.
I think that there is a problem with the welfare index. I'm not sure how to check for myself if that is the case, but I cannot.
