Does Thrifty actually work?

[Nazrel]

As far as I can tell it doesn't adjust the trade value output.

It does. See the entry for Clerks in /common/pop_jobs/03_worker_jobs.

triggered_planet_modifier = {
       potential = {
           OR = {
               has_trait = trait_thrifty
               has_trait = trait_nuumismatic_administration
           }
       }
       modifier = {
           trade_value_add = 0.5
       }
  }

It does. See the entry for Clerks in /common/pop_jobs/03_worker_jobs.

triggered_planet_modifier = {
       potential = {
           OR = {
               has_trait = trait_thrifty
               has_trait = trait_nuumismatic_administration
           }
       }
       modifier = {
           trade_value_add = 0.5
       }
  }

Sadly trade value and amenities aren't affected by worker/specialist bonuses. So the only way to get extra trade value from jobs is to get thrifty, or wait for the Caravaneers to sell you pops. (Which come with a similar trait)

As mentioned, no.

However, slaves do cost less in terms of housing and consumer goods, so slave clerks are still an excellent idea and a great use for slaves with domestic servitude when you don't need them to work as servants.
