Total numbers of Jobs

[iceanimator 6]

Look at this picture, this is the first time that I notice more people commuting into my city to work than I have total Jobs for them. As you can see I have a total of 5,446 Medium wealth jobs, About 4k people are from my city and then another 4k commuting in to my cities. So I have about 8k medium wealth Jobs? Do the Jobs from factories counted in? This is the first time I notice that I have more jobs that reflected in the population menu.

 

I have 2 processor plants, 2 commsumer processing plant 2 recycling plants and I have a university doing research and I am on solar energy with upgraded panels.

I'm pretty sure the 5.4K jobs number is accurate.  But everything I believe is speculation.

 

I've heard, watching youtube strategy videos, that sims don't keep a job or a house.  Everyday they move out of their home and get a new job.  They get the first available job they come to in their wealth bracket.  They keep driving around until they get a job or go home pissed off there are no jobs.  I have not watched my sims closely enough to confirm this theory.

 

If this theory is true, then maybe only 1K of those commuters get a job.  Or it could be that all or a portion of the 4K commuters get a job, but that the same job was held by one of your sims on that same day.  They take over the job when that sim leaves for the day.

 

Or it is a bug.  But that would be suprising, now, wouldn't it?
