How high education jobs work

[Lovebox]

In case there is a shortage of highly educated locals, do more immigrate or commute from abroad? Do people who can't find a highly skilled job in my city commute to work abroad? Do they immigrate or just wait around doing jobs that are below their skill level or being unemployed until I give them a better job? Is there any way to filter any of this info to know this stuff in detail? Can I build office areas as long as there is demand?

TL;DR how do I know at a glance that I have enough highly educated people if I want to build office areas? Edit: I'm all for installing a mod that displays that info.

Schools and Univeritys. They educate your population.
Make sure you have enough.

Guess the title doesn't do justice to my actual questions. Thank you for your time though

You have your education menu to show your education status.

You can build offices anytime you unlock them. It will higher everyone they can. If you are low on educated workers, the game will tell you either through chirpy or icons on your buildings.

If cims can't find work, they wait patiently at home. I don't think workers import. I haven't looked though. Just tourists and families.

Just watch your buildings education levels so you have lots of educated cims. They should all be 100% educated if possible. not easy as new cims are born everyday.

You can plop the Hadron Collider Monument, after you unlock all of the six unique buildings for it, that provides full education to your city. It will maintain over 90% full education once it is established a few years to get all cims educated. Otherwise, they go to elementary school, then high school, then college. then work. so it's hard to get over 75% full education.

But keep building offices and providing education and you'll be fine.

*cough* I'm sad to report that chirpy was the first to be buried in the inauguration of my first cemetery *cough*

Thank you very much for your reply. It was very informative! To be honest I wish games had more depth in their immigration mechanics...

Yep, more depth in the economy would be cool as well.

It would also be nice if we could setup policies that will allow us to outsource jobs, or just outsource anything in general, just like some of the old SimCity games allowed you to

I can only hope a modder notices this thread and works on an immigration overhaul. Or that that we get an official expansion to address that.

Yes. I have seen citizens display “Driving home” entering map via highways as well “going home” from the airport. I have no out of town passenger rail.

Wow I love that. Maybe I shouldn't judge these mechanics before I actually get around to appealling to tourists and (im)migrants :P
