I have numerous towns with almost no employment in my production sites. It is expensive and it ruins my production chains.
I feed the poor successfully ("extremely generous"), yet when the beggars show up, they stay in town for less than a week, or a day, then they disappear again. This is in spite of poor people being satisfied or happy in the town.
How do I get them to stay and work in my production sites??
I build schools, which seem to keep beggars coming into the town at a steadier pace, but they don't take the jobs I have for them.
In one town I have employment space for 60 workers. Of these, 9 or 10 (sometimes the number even drops) are occupied, while 50 are vacant positions. There are 10 beggars in the town. None of them wants to work in my facilities.
It has taken almost a year of game time to fully man 4 brickwork facilities in a city. And the poor people are happy in the town!!
What am I doing wrong??
