Paradise Bay’s unemployment rate is 25%. While it might seem like the solution is simply attracting more employers, the real problem is more complex. In this episode, we’ll diagnose what’s truly driving the jobs crisis, introduce a few mods to help us dig into the simulation, and start putting a plan into action.

This is part one of a two-part video, with the conclusion coming in the next couple of days.
