Stellaris: Unemployment Micromanagement Guide

One of the biggest annoyances in Stellaris is how there is no central job registry so you have to keep relocating people every few months. You could stop population growth but that is just not efficient so here is a quick guide how to manage it.

they should really add maybe an edict or something that resettles unemployed pops automatically, even some unique empire wide "galactic unemployment bureau" which you can construct in space that would over time pick unemployed pops and resettle them to planets with available jobs

[ruthlessred]

Why do I have people keep trying to shift to worker jobs when I have enough people to fill all my jobs? It gets as bad as my enforcers want to become workers even with an ideal perfect amount of jobs and pops. No one is explaining this. Pls make a video on this.

By the 2500s I had 68 planets (almost nice) almost all of the older planets had a worker unemployment problem, one of them had 50 unemployed pops. How did this even happen?

[colonelmonkey]

I kept completely missmanaging my planets, got screwed over late game with rampant unemployment and no way to solve it

[nicofruehinsfeld]

Easily? I did this yesterday and it took me two hours in pause mode (about 15k Pops in total) xD I don't really like this mechanic so much from mid to late game.

Made me realize that if I wanted to have enough specialists, that I would need to let some pops out of slavery

[Vanishingink]

Ok so I tried doing the moving the specialist level pops who are doing worker level jobs to a different planet but they refuse to take specialist jobs even though there are specialist jobs that need to be filled

[randomcatontheinternet]

if it would great if you can convert specialist to peasant labour worker

[Phil]

use tiny outliner it makes this way easier

wouldnt having the slaves option turned on (which I totally disagree with it even being in the game) wouldnt it created teh unemployment problem with normal pop? And what happens when all planets are full with nowhere for them to flog off elsewhere. there needs to be a better system in-game to manage this. like pop keeps growing but nowhere for them to liv or to go when no more room so you just turn off pop growth and when you have to do that its like game over since Im not finding any other locations to create new places to populate.

So how do I give jobs to pops? You're version was a little different then mine, and I am playing as the UNE. Anyway to help? Have a great day.

[alexsrandomstuff]

fine, but how do I get this window to move my pops? please help
