Apparently anything under 4% triggers some sort of mass retirements.
I hit 3.81%, and switched some workers around to give a 10k buffer in my grunt categories, and 5k in all the pro categories, except high tech where I kept 10k.
Came back online the next day to find two schools shut down from no teachers. I had 5k the night before, was graduating 2400, and building new schools that took 1000. So in two months game time I had like 7500 teachers retire. Cancelled my school contracts, bumped up my ed. priorities on teachers. Still had 10k buffers in my high tech, grunts; 5k managers and hospitals.
Next day I was out of high tech! 25k tech engineers hung up the spikes in two game months!
Anyhow, today I ended up buying 1M because my hospitals are now in danger of having one shut down.
Think I'll stick to 5% unemployment from now on, people retired at a reasonable rate then!
