I swear to god this channel has weaselled it's way into my brain. One of the first things I wondered when I got to Baldurs Gate in Baldurs gate 3 was "how is the local economy doing?" Speaking of which I'd love to see a video on Baldurs gate.

The enumerator missed his chance with the body-counting gentleman. You waited hours for him to show signs of employment; he waited hours for you to show signs of decomposition. No doubt he would have sprung into action if you'd keeled over, but then who would have tallied his effort? A difficult, O'Henry sort of situation.

"Not sure what a steward does..." depending on the hold it ranges from basically nothing to basically everything.

I don't know what I will do when this series ends, I don't want it to end, it's just so nice to walk around skyrim so peacefully

i think the thing i appreciate most about these is the dedication to aligning the EMPLOYED checkmark correctly with the characters. it just makes me happy

I don't know, that guy inspecting the dead bodies and staying near the grave seems to be employed either as an investigator (He did wondered if you looked like a murderer) or a sort of grave keeper

Falkreath is known for it's great cemetery. It has a whole 7 gravestones truely legendary.

The "big, giant monster" is Sinding, who WAS employed at the lumber mill (iirc), until he went beast mode and killed a local (though, notably, not one of the ones you saw). He's supposed to be in his human form when you encounter him in the oubliette, but he's not, for some reason. Anyway, he's an outlier btu should have counted.
Thanks for continuing with this series, Austin!

I can't get over the genius idea to cosplay as a jaded bureaucrat

Mr. Austin, has the bureau provided you with any form of compensation for the trauma you must have suffered seeing those 3 dead bodies? If not you should consider joining a union.

These videos are directly responsible for me getting recommended that "how much did the traps in Saw 1 cost" and i'm totally happy with that

I cannot wait for the next episode of Skyrim restaurant critique/inspection. My favorite series on this channel right now by a slim margin. Skybox appreciation is my all time but I just can’t get enough of the restaurant reviews.

I’d be interested in a Bureau of Labor Statistics Numerator build for Skyrim. Lockpicking is obviously an important skill.

Rundil being dead slapped me in the face. Nooo, not my elderly Altmer priest of Arkay! He has five lines total, but I still love him.

Austin you have genuinely changed how i look at certain systems in games. i spent a good 10 minutes just watching the sunset in elden ring yesterday. thanks for making such creative and unique videos that change the way I and presumably many others view video game systems.

Just a thought but that guy standing there for hours COULD be the gravekeeper or cemetery steward given there was nobody in the hall of the dead and he stood outside it all day

I have the same corpse issue in Falkreath. Like half the time I fast travel there a dragon spawns and procedes to kill half the population. In one playthrough Lod was killed before I could ask about Barbas and the brothers running the shop were both killed so the shop was no longer usable.
I avoid Falkreath unless its unavoidable now.

One of my favorite bits of these unemployment videos is the transition jingle. It's just too good

not Austin adding THE SHADOW OF THE EMPLOYED SIGN on the table in the general store 💀

The graveyard guy is Kust, he's employed, he tends the cemetery.
If you count everyone living at the start of the game + the *eight guards (at least 3 in the barracks), it's 29 people.
Thadgeir, whom you marked as inapplicable, chops wood for the inn, which is technically a job. Sinding, the werewolf in the prison, used to be a worker at the mill but was arrested. As he's now a prisoner, he would technically be inapplicable. All of the dead people you saw were employed at the time of living.
Valdr is another citizen of Falkreath, not currently present until you complete a quest. That makes 30 people, and Valdr is employed as a hunter.
Minus the two inapplicable, that makes 28 working people with an unemployment rate of 0%.
