Overproduction - is it useful?

[notger.heinz]

(Version: V:R)

AFAIK, my income in the game depends on the taxes and tariffs I impose on my people. If they earn more or spend more, I earn more and can spend more. Fine.

Furthermore, I need certain goods to upgrade POPs or build troops. Again, fine.

Goods produced in my factories get to the WM. I do not get money from producing goods, but from the resulting taxes.

Now, here is my question: Do workers in a high-value factory get more money from working there, than e.g. workers working in an orchard? ( = Are wages fixed or is it useful for me to push into high-value industry?)
Or is the money from highly profitable factories going to the Capis?
Or are highly-end industries only profitable for me due to tariffs (which are supposed to only affect import/consumer goods)?

Thanks in advance
Notger.

P.S.: I am greatly enjoying a game as GB with zero taxes now for sixty years. It works wonders on the militancy and I am trying to hold the empire till the end of HOI2:Armageddon.

AFAIK, the income is distributed among your POPs based on POP-type, not on where they work.

Ok, so high-income industries are to be preferred.
But, who gets the money? The working class or the capis?
And who pays for the raw materials?
Are raw materials also subject to tariffs?

Everyone gets money. But based on what POP-type they are they get different shares of it, so capis get most, slaves get least.
The state, a.k.a. you, pay for the raw materials, and they are not subject to tariffs.
