The disappearing jobless

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.

what a shame less unemployment

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.

Nah, my country couldn't afford the ammo.
