The tabs on top of your country page...

Click on FINANCE / SOCIAL SECURITY / SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENT SETTINGS.


80 is a good number until your hiring gets above 90%. Then increase it incrementally up to 90 or so.

Treasurer gave good information, but I don't think it quite answered your question.

You want a high social security payment setting to raise your welfare index (which increases productivity of your corps). Given that only people who are unemployed get social security, the easiest way to decrease the cost of social security while maintaining a high welfare index is to actually employ more workers (i.e. lower unemployment by building more corporations).

I went by the title of the thread which was "How do I decrease Social Security Settings".

Anything above 95 on the SS settings is counterproductive due to the costs incurred with those payments. But as long as you have high percentage of employment, the extra cost is worth the bump in production TO AN EXTENT.
