Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Not sure what causes it exactly, but it seems to be connected to having unfilled enforcer jobs due to low crime. Somehow the zombie pop promotes to specialist to try and take the enforcer job, but then obviously can't, so it just sits there unemployed until it demotes.

This should "never happen" as zombies cannot take this job anyway.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

The issue is that the game is defaulting to assembling your main species. When that happens, trait_zombie is added after the pop is already created as a specialist. Then the next monthly check catches it in an invalid job, and makes it go unemployed. You can force the zombie pops to assemble with the standard 10% progress loss, to keep it from happening until they come up with a way to fix it.

planet_event = { #Braiiiins
    id = necroids.250
    is_triggered_only = yes
    hide_window = yes

    trigger = {
        fromfrom = {
            is_organic_species = yes
            NOT = { has_trait = trait_zombie }
        }
        owner = { has_valid_civic = civic_permanent_employment }
        has_building = building_posthumous_employment_center
    }

    immediate = {
        fromfrom = {
            make_pop_zombie = yes
        }
    }
    after = {
        fromfrom = {
            clear_pop_category = yes #To make sure that the zombie pop does not spawn as a non worker strata
        }
    }
}

This event fails to reset the pop category.

Easiest way I can think of to 'fix' it is to create a pop of the zombie species after the trait is added in the event, and kill the broken pop. Since demotions are tied to the job stratum of the pop in question. So either creating a new category for zombie pops, or copy pop, kill pop.

Seems like this would be a "good enough" solution to fixing the fact that clear_pop_category = yes doesn't seem to be doing its job.

planet_event = { #Braiiiins
    id = necroids.250
    is_triggered_only = yes
    hide_window = yes

    trigger = {
        fromfrom = {
            is_organic_species = yes
            NOT = { has_trait = trait_zombie }
        }
        owner = { has_valid_civic = civic_permanent_employment }
        has_building = building_posthumous_employment_center
    }

    immediate = {
        fromfrom = {
            make_pop_zombie = yes
        }
    }
    after = {
        create_pop = { species = fromfrom.species }
        fromfrom = {
            kill_pop = yes
        }
    }
}

That being said, I don't know what other unforeseen consequences such a change could amount to, down the road. I just know it "works".
