Hey, everyone! I'm super new here, and it seems things are going ok except my unemployment numbers. I don't understand how to get them down. Unemployment is around 70% but in at least one corporation it says production is being limited by lack of workers. How do I get the millions of unemployed in my country to get jobs? It seems like there are jobs available if there aren't enough workers. Please advise. Thanks!

I looked into your countries.

Both have a small number of corporations and you need more to create jobs.

When you login, there is a red button:

COUNTRY REPORT

please use it.
The report will tell you exactly what is going wrong.

I checked and one of the urgent messages (shown with a red alarm sign)
is saying that the number of corporations is too small.

please check it every time you login.
It will show you how to quickly improve many problems in the countries.

check out the education priorities page as well. That will tell you exactly how many you need for "100% production" and let you adjust the priorities if you need a specific type over one (im guessing you're short some sort of high tech type).

one thing to node is the numbers on the education priorities page are parts of a whole, rather than an actual value that gets used. making the total number of priority points doesn't do anything other than let you get more granular which typically isn't needed.
