Something not quite right with pop vs job opportunity

 I'm currently working on a city with only one neighbor. The city I'm working on has a population of just over 51k, But the industrial jobs and commercial jobs only add up to about 41k on the city data you get from the regional map. So that's about 10k sims without access to work. Why am I not getting jobless zots and sims freaking out? The cities only neighbor doesn't have enough jobs either but they tend to cry a bit. But this city doesn't. Any thoughts or ideas on why this might be occuring? It's not really a bad thing, I'm just curious.

The 10k sims that don't have jobs would be your sims not in the workforce - children and the retired.


To search for the ideal city today is useless. For all cities are different. Each one has its own spirit, its own problems, and its own pattern of life. As long as the city lives, these aspects continue to change. Thus to look for the ideal city is not only a waste of time but may be seriously detrimental. In fact, the concept is obsolete; there is no such thing.

    Thanks, I never even thought about that. To me all sims need jobs, been playing for a long time and the fact that kids don't work and sims retire never even crossed my mind.
