Planet Ranking Leaderboards - Unemployment?

[lucifon 0]

When cruising the Planet Ranking Leaderboards on CitiesXL.com I came across the unemployment rate leaderboard.

The thing I dont understand is why is the leaderboard showing those who have 100% unemployment. Surely this is a stupid leaderboard...I mean...its basically showing who has the suckiest economy, or in reality - who's only just started their city and logged off! Surely it makes more sense to show those who have 0% unemployment on a leaderboard?

Hehe!  That's kind of funny really.  Looks like someone needs to refine the LeaderBoard class a little.

They should cap it to only list cites over certain populations. That would fix the problem of showing new cities.

Even so I dont really see the point in showing who has the largest unemployment, its not exactly a feat or anything you really care about seeing. Maybe who has the the smallest unemployment for the largest amount of time would be a better thing to show.

Everyone needs something to feel good about. For the people who are struggling with the game, this is their 10 seconds of fame.

I think it's just a bit of bad coding. Instead of giving you the cities with the least, it's giving you the most. Just a bit backwards really.

The cities with the highest unemployment is an interesting statistic, although I do agree it should only be among cities of X population.
