I noticed timber and iron RGOs tend to fluctuate wildly between 0-20% unemployment at various stages of the game with no rhyme or reason. When trying to fill my colonies as Sweden for example, at certain times several swedish iron/lumber RGOs will have 20%+ unemployment, then go back down to 0%, then go back up again. Eventually they settle in to 10-15% unemployment later on in the game. All RGOs are NOT at maximum capacity at any point and have plenty of room for more workers at all stages of the game.
What determines employment level of RGOs?

I can't answer your question, but have been baffled by the same tendency. I also frequently experience that when RGO production is swapped, it doesn't rehire anyone at all, which is weird and counter-productive. The solution, in my experience, is to save and reload, at which point the RGOs will get staffed as you would normally expect.
I did a quick search, and all I could find was the iteration of the same problem, not any reason for it.
So yeah, no idea why, but save-reload will mostly solve it.

It often happens due to massive port/railroad building when corresponding technologies are getting discovered by large nations, causing periods of peak demand on those resources
