Okay, my country had an earthquake and has a dork running it :) To try and save money I decrease worker salaries to like 175. Should I put them up closer to 300? How much does worker income effect my econ? Does it effect population?
Thanks in advance all you wonderful experts out there!

Whose salaries? You guys need to differentiate between govt and corporate salaries. Salaries wont effect population really, except in as much as higher may increase welfare which will help a higher migration rate.

Idiots guide, my own rough idea of what works well:

Corp salaries 300, govt salaries at 75% of that, ie 225.

Its not set in stone, the only thing you should watch is keeping govt salaries withing 75% of corp, else your nurses etc will go to industry and seriously mess up your country.

lol, corporate. Anyone working in a corp. Govt = nurses, doctors, teachers and associated people for the schools and hosps, and military.

Your own corps, 100% owned by your country, are state corps. Nationalised corps are a subset of these. CEO corps are private corps. Corps that have been floated (IPOed) are public corps.
