High unemployment rate
•
by Plato
As more Citizens are born in Erepublik the Economies are starting to face more problems. High unemployment rate is one of the big issues that we've spoted in some countries.
Posible causes could be that:
a) there is little demand for products. Possible solutions:
- how the products are use😛
even if will be used just when wars will start, weapons are cheaper in time of peace and a good stock will help the future soldiers win their fights; houses now offer extra wellness;
- Hospitals are too expensive - Presidents or Mayors can make agreements with the Hospital industry companies to give them in advance a part of the money for the Hospitals.
- Presidents can create institutions that are representing the State and buy food or weapons to use them in times of need (war, famine, etc). Kaleb came up with this interesting idea: http://www.erepublik.com/profile-4549.html Here we will think of ways to help implementing it as now it is quite hard to do that.
b) General Managers are inactive. Possible solutions:
- A National Bank system created by the President that will give loans to potential good managers. Still, the loans should be given carefully as there is a big need also for employees in the economy. Korbin King created for US such a bank: http://www.erepublik.com/forum-topic-777.html
- existing managers that aren't very active could decide to sell their companies (a more idealistic solution).
To help the free market we implemented in the Forum a legal area where people can make their agreements official: http://www.erepublik.com/forum-Contracts-66.html
Some of our Citizens also reported us that the tax donations are creating problems for the Banking system. We decided to take out the tax on the Gold donated.
PS: Today we want to resolve the Alerts problem so that Citizens can see when they have new alerts.

I think you guys have got it a little backwards....
If products don't sell, that's because they are worthless. Instead of trying to make the products cheaper for a player in the short term by asking big brother to step in on behalf of the players and essentially subsidize the products... make the products themselves cheaper (or at least more useful).
And when a manger isn't very active, I highly doubt he will bother selling his company. Why not force inactive managers to retire or something.
people are asking a too high salary, this is why they get unemployed !
Or they don't even answer the hiring-proposal. Maybe too many fake accounts?
Well I will work every day and I am asking for 1 pound a day..
For general managers inactive, when they die of starving they should lose everything to the state, or to the employees.
two big 'functional' problems causing unemployment: 1) people don't realise they've actually been offered a job. hopefully this is now fixed. 2) as phusion just said, inactive general managers. would be good if there was way to appoint a deputy manager or some other system to wrest control from the sleeping manager.
The reason people are not buying houses is because they don't work.
FIX HOUSES!
jezz how am I supposed to pay my workers If all I'm selling is air?
and Aurum - I think you've gotten the wrong end of the stick slightly. my proposal is not a state subsidy. I'll try and explain it more clearly in the forums and the economic theory behind the idea

( did not upgrade company so thats not it)
same as Albanian 😶
@Albanian and @Amroth - guys, I am hiring people, why you can't do that? Have you reported to the admin?
yes we have! and it's not only us, there are several other players complaining in the forum since saturday...
'two out of five of our products are worthless due to bugs/not implemented, so it's the companies fault'
I can send job proposals no problem and new alert system makes everything very clear but the admin should make it easier to find people in the hr market
hiring people not did not work also for me
We need people on brazil, Read this:

the reason for high unemployment is because some people didnt continue playing their account..!! this is problem should be solved immediately,otherwise in next 1 or 2 month we will see thousand inactive citizen!! which's make every country leaves unemployment..
