How to deal with unemployment?

[True Coverage]

I keep creating jobs but its gotten to the point now where i cant create enough jobs to keep up with the demand of the ever growing citizens.

Whats the best way to tackle unemployment?

Couple of options exist that can help you manage it:
1. Love it or Leave it constitution option - one of the most obvious ones, makes unhappy people more likely to leave the island
2. College "Brain Sells" work modes - gives you money and makes most graduates leave upon graduation, this really helps late game when you want to keep your population mostly static
3. Setting raid buildings to the dangerous work modes - in a very cynical way, it helps

In general you know that you can't stop people making babies, so the best thing you can do is encourage more people (especially the unhappy ones) to leave the island.

You can also set a different work mode in the immigration office.

You could also upgrade construction / transport offices etc. for extra jobs

I would start with that. Having unemployed people in shacks is killing your support.

Your other options:
Steal the Samarkand which gives out free high school educations.
Spam textile mills with the expansion to employ 10 people each.
Change Spy academy and Pirate Cove work modes so people can die.

I ran into a similar issue once and learned my lesson. I had like 100 unemployed uneducated, after that I was more careful to not have more than 30 or so.

Also get an immigration office set up as soon as it's available and restrict immigration that way until you're able to accommodate more. You can restrict and unrestrict to your heart's content.

Lower the crime safety as much as you can, and make insane amounts of Swiss money off the crime lords :)
Or if you actually want to rid of people, do what others suggested;) the immigration office is enough really, if you have several hundreds of unemployed then set constitution to live it leave it

100 sounds light. I have 1k unemployed out of 8k population. They all live in conventillos and on social security lol. And I don't know what to do with them, that's a disaster. Approval rating is 90+ though

the immigration office should be used as stated. it is where you can really turn the influx on and off as needed. the love it or leave it can help if you get too many and is effecting happiness as already stated too. late game as long as you have workers it does not mater as much if you have offices. offices stack and cover different situation so many of them can help this is also where it becomes easy to have free housing.
