Demand bugged?

[TimFisher]

This screenshot shows zero demand for residential and maximum demand for industrial. At the same time there are 2019 workers for 2076 jobs. Of those jobs 365 are in the industrial zone. It looks like the industrial zone jobs are not taken into consideration when calculating the demand bars for industrial demand. I think there ought to be residential demand here but it's zero. Anyone know what's going on?

do you mean 'calculating the demand bars for residential demand' cos that would make sense.

My current city is working exactly as it should with demand. The new industry reduces industry demand like it should. Best I can guess is you have a mod conflict.

One thing people might overlook is the new industries don't only offer "crappy" jobs anymore. That farming area certainly looks like it cannot take in more workers for the time being because the city doesn't have enough educated citizens. This is why old industry still has a function.

The old generic industry definitely still has a use. The unique factories simply do not provide enough goods for commercial. I have all of them and I need to supplement with generic industry or else I start getting the not enough goods message. Also generic industry takes the refined materials from the new industry. I was able to confirm it clicking on trucks for a while to find a goods delivery. Just watch out, don't overproduce generic goods or your specialty goods will start exporting and you'll lose money.

The People tool says I have 29% unemployment, but only 23% are uneducated. How do I get more visibility into why I have 29% unemployment even though there are open jobs available?

Well it's not that complicated, high unemployment simply means lack of jobs. Open jobs may be a result of education mismatch.
