"What workforce is required by my industries and commercial buildings?"
"What occupation is my population asking for?"
These questions can be answered by looking at certain RCI exemplars in simcity_1.dat.
The properties are called Drives, and there are two kinds of them; I've decided to call them Census Drives and Workforce Drives (mainly based on the names of the exemplars where they are given).
If you are using the Colossus Addon Mod, please refer to this thread: CAM - Workforce and Occupation Demands (Drives).
Census Drives (Demand of Workforce)
These drives tell us what kind of workforce (residential working population) is required for different kinds of jobs.
They are given in the following exemplars: CS$ Census, CS$$ Census, CS$$$ Census, CO$$ Census, CO$$$ Census, IR Census, ID Census, IM Census and IH Census.
The table below should be read from top to bottom for each column separately. Eg. the column named CO$$ tells you that middle-class offices employ 10% R$$$, 50% R$$ and 40% R$:
| Employer: | CO§§§ | CO§§ | CS§§§ | CS§§ | CS§ | I-HT | I-M | I-D | I-R |
| Employs | |||||||||
| R§§§ | 15 % | 10 % | 8 % | 5 % | 0 % | 10 % | 5 % | 0 % | 0 % |
| R§§ | 65 % | 50 % | 30 % | 27 % | 0 % | 80 % | 45 % | 0 % | 0 % |
| R§ | 20 % | 40 % | 62 % | 68 % | 100 % | 10 % | 50 % | 100 % | 20 % |
Workforce Drives (Demand of Occupation)
These drives tell us what kind of occupation (commercial and industrial) is accepted by the workforce (population), based on their wealth and education.
They are given in the following exemplars: TotalWF$EQ1, TotalWF$EQ2, TotalWF$EQ3, TotalWF$EQ4, TotalWF$$EQ1, TotalWF$$EQ2, TotalWF$$EQ3, TotalWF$$EQ4, TotalWF$$$EQ1, TotalWF$$$EQ2, TotalWF$$$EQ3, and TotalWF$$$EQ4
The table below should be read from left to right for each row separately. Eg. the row named R$$ 150...200 tells you that well-educated middle-class residents may be working in CO$$$ (44%), CO$$ (15%), CS$$$ (7%), CS$$ (30%), and I-HT (52%). The total of each row is close to 150%, telling you that people can accept more than one type of occupation. Farming (I-R) is treated in its own way and separately from the others.
| Occupation: | CO§§§ | CO§§ | CS§§§ | CS§§ | CS§ | I-HT | I-M | I-D | I-R | |
| Wealth | Education | |||||||||
| R§§§ | 150...200 | 75 % | 37 % | 37 % | ||||||
100...150 | 60 % | 30 % | 30 % | 7 % | 22 % | |||||
50...100 | 44 % | 60 % | 22 % | 15 % | 7 % | |||||
0...50 | 22 % | 60 % | 7 % | 22 % | 7 % | 15 % | 15 % | |||
| R§§ | 150...200 | 44 % | 15 % | 7 % | 30 % | 52 % | ||||
100...150 | 22 % | 22 % | 37 % | 37 % | 30 % | |||||
50...100 | 7 % | 44 % | 30 % | 7 % | 44 % | 15 % | ||||
0...50 | 30 % | 22 % | 15 % | 52 % | 30 % | 120 % | ||||
| R§ | 150...200 | 22 % | 67 % | 15 % | 22 % | 22 % | ||||
100...150 | 22 % | 7 % | 30 % | 52 % | 37 % | |||||
50...100 | 37 % | 37 % | 75 % | |||||||
0...50 | 37 % | 112 % | 1500 % |
