Employment index bug? (Little Upsilon)

The employment index doesn't seam to accurately represent the figures displayed. Is some other demographic not displayed (like retired, disabled or housewives) factored into unemployment/employment percentage?

The index changes slowly I know, but its been quite a few game years of consistent levels of unemployed and the index hasn't changed.

Yes the employment index is arrived at by way of calculating every citizen in the country (Babies, Teenagers, Retired, Disabled are not working and are counted as unemployed)

Then it is placed against your actual employed people in your country. (All Military, Teachers, Health care workers are counted as employed) All people who have a job in corporation public or private are employed.

All the indexes move slowly. This accounts for momentum. It does not automatically reset to the new value. the index moves toward the new value but doesn't instantly just appear there.

Check your disabled and housewives (both are counted towards unemployed). These can be reduced by way of Special Clinics and Back to Work Schools.

A "Special Clinic" is actually a converted Hospital. It rehabilitates disabled workers back to the workforce. "Special Clinic's" can be made using the Health Tab. Yo
