My corporations are dying and won't hire above 89% on their own. My country is Norbian Empire and I have a good workforce ready to work. I don't know whats happening, can you guys please help me with this problem?

I think it's your wages. You'll notice that your shortages are pretty much matching your wage differences.

Normally I guess you'd fill the jobs easily with wages set at 365 and climbing, maybe just not with the vast majority of the work in the country paying 850 wages.

I'm speculating but I bet this is it.

I suggest patience and government subsidies until the corp's wage level matures if you'd like to maintain 'union' wages.

Union wages? What are those?

All my wages are at 850 for all my Corps. I don't think its the wages.

I think I know whats happening. A lot of the private corporations are moving out of my country. I had my tax percentage at 0% so I don't know why they did that.

By the way, would it be smart to just get rid of all my state controlled public corporations? Or should I keep a small percentage? What do you guys think I should do?

Well, there have been several players quitting recently. I don't know if they are taking the time to close corps though.
Hiring *may* be your problem though. I don't care if taxes are 0% or 30%, if a president can't keep me above 50% hiring (I pay well), I'm generally out if I feel like taking the time to move.
So, if your state corps are causing decreased hiring in the CEO corps, close them.

There may be other reasons better econ players could give you.

Okay thanks, I think it's too late now though, there are only two private corps left today, but they are both running at 100% hiring. They aren't selling much though.

Your corps will only employ the LOWEST percentage type worker that is available.

For instance, if you have 6x as many high level managers as you need, but only 75% of the number of low level managers, then only 75% of the required high level managers will be hired, even though you have more than enough to fill all high level positions.

If you go to your education screen it should show you how many are available of each type and how many are needed for full capacity. If, in any row, the number needed for 100% production exceeds the available workers, then you need to educate more of that professional type.

I took a glance are your corps page. First of all good job on such a high level of employee welfare! But yea, the hiring loss doesnt seem to be concentrated...so im thinking your probably just understaffed on one type of worker (probably high level, always happens to me).

Hope this helps.

I'll right I'll check that out about education. But what percentage should I own in public corps?
