Job happiness

[Tuow]

Hi does someone know how to increase job happiness?
I already increased the budget for every workplace to 4.

Tips are appreciated!
Thx

Some building's upgrades or different production modes may increase it.

I wouldn't swear on this, as I haven't really figured everything out yet. But my job happiness is great at the moment. I just make sure there are enough jobs to go around, so keep unemployment to a minimum. Raise budgets where there's a need, and check to see what Work Mode you have active. Some of them might raise happiness a bit. Upgrades on buildings may also decrease/increase happiness.

Personnalmy; mine was at 73% and suddenly it dropped for no reason, I increased wages, took edicts that improved work conditions, bought improvments that increase job quality, and yet it stills plummet, i'm now at 43% and it drops quicker and quicker

I wonder if it is measured against the Caribbean happiness? Maybe if your islands' happiness is below the Caribbean happiness, job happiness goes down?

No. I'm always under carribean happiness, this reduce popular support, but not job happiness.
It wouldn't make sens if it did, it would be an endless circle.

Strange thing is that sometimes, the job happiness will increase even though unemployment did increase.

im also stuck on this mission (job happiness 13/50 ) no idea how to increase it.issued all the job related edicts, increased all wages to max.....

I was also stuck in the mission;
Check out some of your unemployed people. Their job happiness may tend to 0, as they are unemployed and thus unhappy. Obviously, not only employed people are taken into account. Not sure about children and pupils/students.

THIS. Job happiness is bugged in this game.

Here's the fix however: Save your game, exit to main menu, and reload the game. Your job happiness will much higher as it should be.

I know its an older thread but thank you Mitchell! Very much appreciated! Disgusting that its still bugged after the patches..

[Lancerjay]

Yes saving, exiting to main menu and reloading fixed it for me. My job satisfaction was at 21 and falling. Reloaded, and it is now at 89...

Pay more wages on every building, and look out for work modes or upgrades that improve job quality. Also note it happens over time, not instantly. Best to save this ramp-up for your first election after Modern Times, as you'll need it for the EU embassy, and you can slip it in as a campaign promise for another easy election.

To recap; Set all wages to their highest value. That's how you increase job happiness.

there is a "Mandatory Siesta" edict in the Colonial tab, you can activate it for a moment, it helps a lot boosting a job quality but also slows downs your economy around an island
