is there some kind of button I need to press somewhere so that the AI realizes "actually I should pay $0.30 more to employ people in the most profitable industry in the market"
btw that weekly balance isn't +11.2 it's +11.2k
and no I can't press the subsidize button because I still have traditionalist economics
this is a qualifications issue - wages are too high for your higher qualified pops because there aren't many of them. build a couple universities and/or use the social mobility edict and it'll clear up after a bit
