What was the change with workers?

Looks like schools and universities need more teachers and corps need more high level workers this morning and I am not the only one. What else might I have missed?

The moment I woke up I checked my countries. It seems everyones scores dropped and I was worried. A few of my corps dropped hiring as well. I know they did some server maintenance a few hours ago, must've been an update. Hopefully a gm will explain and this isn't going to do any long term damage..

All my countries are in employment disarray this morning. Looks like it is going to take a few days for everything to straighten out since the numbers are fluctuating wildly each month.

Appears lead, zinc, and lithium are needed more for certain corps as well.

edit: looks like add factory maintenance to this. possibly, household products. add sulfur. and industrial equipment.

You should be able to accelerate the adjustment with manual demotions to high level workers. I should get this worked out in a few more game months. I also needed to up priority for teachers.

Honestly I'm too lazy to manually order the new minerals for my corps... Guess I should just let them devalue and wait for the new minerals? Would that be better than immediate order when I know the market will take a while? I already started building these corps to supply myself. Thankfully I set high priorities for teachers before I got off last night..

when i saw this, my only reaction was to lower my education priorities, clearly i didn't need to graduate any more professionals.

but the recent HLW update the GM made, is kicking in nicely, and will probably correct my HLW problem, with out my interference.

and leave me in a position to build 5-8 more corps, depending on what i build.

Country wasn't affected much with the worker changes as i've been fiddling with the ratios alot manually as of late. had extra cash lying around so i fixed my shortage of zinc & lead and made a corp that produces them so i won't run out again. All in all not much from this update compared to the great temporary economic collapse that happened with the storage and ordering changes.

Game news will be posted today.
I am sorry for the delay.

The score is improved, may have dropped a bit for everyone.
More details are now available on the score and these details are more up to date.

There are also some small changes in the number of people working for universities, schools etc. but you need a slightly smaller number to reach the same index level.

more details in the game news shortly.
