SC4: total employment graph? % unemployed graph?

Does SC4 have any way to display the trend of what percentage of your
population is unemployed? There are the population and employment graphs of
course, but they only graph the breakdown of where the jobs are.

About the best you can do is try to infer it from watching the ratio of
R to C demand but it's far from intuitive...

I use the CSX Unemployment Office lot for this purpose. As well as a job
(or dole as you please) for 750 low wealth sims it gives you some
insight on current jobs/workforce.
Try it out:

Any talk about employment is going to involve the pathfinding and demand
engines.

Basically, every residential Sim needs a job. After the building completes
construction, the Sim starts looking for the nearest job that fits their
wealth level. If they don't find a suitable job after awhile, they show a
No Job Zot and the property is abandoned or distressed (devolves to a lower
wealth level and tries again).

Basically, every Sim that needs to have a job has to find one. Otherwise
they skip town. So employment is always at 100%.

Thank you, I will try that! By the way, do you know what CSX stands for?
