So, just started a new region and city. The city I am making is a suburb. It is connected to a neighboring city, which contains all the industry. For some reason, the medium density industrial zones are not full, but there are tons of "no job" zots in the suburb. The cities are connected with an avenue. No ordinances have been added, no taxes have been changed. The industrial and residential zones are physically right next to each other, but they are in different cities - so it's not really the distance either. I have never experienced this before, what is going on?

Oh, I'm starting to feel stupid. https://postimg.cc/image/r2szsk58d/ https://postimg.cc/image/qc65hxerb/ This connection does NOT work. Is there a way that I can fix it?

Ugh, I can't figure out what you mean, sorry. Could you post a screenshot of a working connection? Thank you very much!

I found the solution to the problem. Unfortunately, it's not beautiful. When I started my new region, I connected the suburb and the industry with a highway. To my surprise, everything was going well. Then, I built my CBD. Connecting it with a highway would have been impossible without destroying half a neighborhood or making the commute times huge. I connected it with an avenue. Very soon, "No Job"s started appearing. I removed the avenue and temporarily replaced it with a road. All the zots disappeared at once.

Well, that does answer an unspoken question of mine. And yet, why did the new residential zones not increase the demand for ID? Did the new residents simply take the others' places?

A new city has been started, I hope it will work well this time. If anyone is interested: I added another road that connects to the same industrial city some time ago, but it didn't help either. What I do suspect is the shape of my neighbourhoods. Also, I started a city right next to the industrial one and zoned high density residential. It immediately got 19 000 residents with no "No Job" zots. Switching to the industrial city did NOT cause a huge construction campaign - something that surprised me. I don't know the exact figure, but probably about 10 000 of those new residents relied on the industrial jobs. 10 000 new workplaces should be quite a lot in terms of new buildings. This is really beyond me.

There's absolutely no evidence for this from the information posted. Yes, I am using the NAM. I think I should have mentioned that. Can it change these behaviors? Running both cities for quite some time has not really helped. There are a lot of intersections on the avenue, so I doubt this could be the solution.

There are no education buildings or ordinances. I think there was like 10 on the graph for Education, I have no idea how that appeared, but I think it's not enough to make them unable to work in ID
