Citizens don't want to work

Citizens don't want to work
There are a lot of unemployed people in residential buildings, factories are within walking distance of 150 meters, there are not enough workers up to 20%, but people do not go there. At the same time, people are completely happy and all needs are met.

Can you post a screen shot of your problem?

You sure they are not over-qualified ?

I noticed when i did not limit my universities too many of my civilian became high educated, and they want high educated jobs. They will not work in "lowly jobs" at concrete factories or gravel breaker industry or as woodcutters, among others.

Pretty logical, IRL no one would do that unless out of strict necessity.

That well known building mod guy creates office buildings to keep an excess of high educated civilians busy. Without mods you can use City Hall buildings to do that. Or increase loyalty settings so less civilians get that highly educated and will work at "ABC" ( :-))) educated jobs.

High educated workers will also work at normal work places.

i know for a fact this no longer may be true in all cases/ all buildings.

In beta i made the mistake of not setting any loyalty demands for the universities. Hundreds of students in queue in a small city. Before long anyone and their mother was highly educated and i first noticed this when my power plant failed having no workers when several 300+ populated flats were full and previously staffed the power plant and other industries with no problems. Then i noticed this was the case for any and all non-high educated jobs city wide. Hossitals had doctors but no staff. Universities had professors but barely any staff. And so on.

And sure as hell no one with high education was going to the gravel breaking plant, cement plant and that kind of unhealthy jobs.

So this over-educated population situation can be a problem that can cause OP's problem.

In fact i found above situation funny and extremely realistic. In my country today this is exactly the situation they are in. Too few people that can work with their hands, too many people with high education for which there are less jobs. With the forced "green energy" transition major building activities are needed, but high educated people are not the ones climbing on roofs to install solar panels, or install heat exchangers, or lay heavier electricity cables in the ground or construct high voltage masts. They are also not building houses, so selective immigration ( an in-game solution for these situations ) importing people that still can is out of the question as well.

Is it not fantastic how much this game resembles RL ?

Factories within 150 meters? Are you sure they aren't all waiting for ambulances?

I play in beta

Same here.
I don't have as many people.
But 70 to 80 % high educated people. They all work just fine.
Everywhere.
Later on I will make a few screen shots.

I was reading elsewhere that high educated workers are even more efficient.

Therefore idk why OP have this problem atm.

[DexkM]

I tried to populate houses with citizens without higher education, and the situation with jobs has not changed.
I play in a simple mode, without pollution, with a simple education system, without electricity, etc.

University educated workers will prefer to work in university educated jobs but will take basic worker jobs if given no other option or if a workplace with both types of jobs has a lot more university educated workers than basic workers.

As for OP, there can be some latency between workers walking to their job which can result in understaffed workplaces, especially if they employ a lot of people or the distances they walk are long.

[MrKrabs]

Maybe you can post a few screen shots of your problem.

[Beast of War]

So the industry is functioning ( your picture ) but you want to have more workers go there and produce more ?

I guess the steel factory does not "need" them for one reason or another. Does it have enough coal and iron supply and available KW of electricity to scale up production ?

[DexkM]

In my case, the distance to the workplaces is small, there is nowhere closer, and the roads are at maximum speed. And there are three times as many workers as there are jobs.
And some time ago, the developers already fixed such a problem, and the jobs were fully occupied, and now this problem has arisen again.

[DexkM]

I play without electricity.
There are also not enough workers at the coal and iron plant, but in general there are enough resources, and the same situation at other plants.

Welcome to communism, my friend.

Я же написал, что у меня в 3 раза больше граждан, и идти работать они должны в ближайшее место

[MrKrabs]

Here is my gravel factory.
Workers are brought there by bus.

If you move your mouse courser over the percentage you can see why people kann not work.
In my case it´s lack of working places.

Here is my townhall where the majority of the workforce have higher education.
