Looking to get more workers in Cities Skylines 2? No problem. We’ll cover what you can do to fill jobs and staff local industries as more residents move into your growing city.
In Cities Skylines 2, your aim is to build and maintain a bustling metropolis filled to the brim with life at every corner. Starting with a single plot of land, you’ll need to strike a balance between expanding your city and monitoring its economy. As the urban hub grows, so does demand for necessary services. This means manning your workforce accordingly. Of course, you’ll need to ensure each potential employee is a proper candidate for the position. Here’s how to get more workers by providing for your citizens and finding the best fit for every job.
How to Get More Workers in Cities Skylines 2
Hiring workers of different skill levels and varying degrees of education is key in Cities Skylines 2. Without an adequately manned workforce, you risk slowed production and delayed development in your efforts to expand a city. That said, it’s ultimately the laborer’s decision to either deny an offer or move forward with a job. Fortunately, there are a few ways to draw in qualified candidates and fill open positions. Here’s a rundown of your options.
- Increase the population of your city – First and foremost, you’ll need enough citizens to fully man your city’s workforce. Ask yourself: What can I do to encourage new residents to move in? Prioritizing quality of life is essential here. Provide access to public services, ample housing, and appealing tax rates to attract newcomers to your city.
- Populate your city with workers of different education levels – Every job requires a specific set of skills and degree of education. To fill job openings, you’ll need to ensure that your city’s workforce is neither overeducated nor undereducated. If an imbalance is created, you’ll have a hard time finding candidates who are willing to accept job offers for positions that are not within their skill level. The solution: Add just a few colleges and universities throughout your city to provide enough access to education for your citizens to earn various degrees.
- Ensure businesses are within reasonable range of residential areas – No one looks forward to a long commute to work. To keep productivity and motivation on the upside, you’ll need to make sure citizens can get to work without trouble. Constructing connected road networks is a given, but you should also take distance into consideration. Close proximity and easy access to work is a must.
- Make public transportation accessible – In the same vein, a city can’t run efficiently without adequate public transportation. This means adding transport like taxis, trains, and buses throughout your city. Place bus stops and stands in both residential and commercial areas to provide your citizens with access to transportation between work and home.
- Deep Simulation: Make choices that have ripple effects across the city. Intricate AI and economic systems mean players will need to strategize, problem solve and react to changes, challenges and opportunities.
- Epic Scale, Endless Possibilities: Build a thriving metropolis without compromise. In Cities: Skylines II, players will be able to build sky-high and across the map to realize their dream city like never before.
- Cities That Come Alive: Follow the lives of individual citizens, from love and loss to wealth and well-being. Player decisions will shape the lives of their city’s citizens.
- A Dynamic World: Pick a map to set the climate and biome of the city. These natural forces will shape the growth of players’ cities as they contend with rising pollution, changeable weather and seasonal challenges.
