Profession pages seem to exist for most of the categories. Should those categories link through to the matching profession page when available? I think it would aid navigation some. --EpeeGnome 2:33am 27 July 2010 (UTC)

How would people feel about a separate article on '''jobs''' (instead of having it redirected here)? Explanations of the {{k|j}}obs list, the relative priority of different jobs, and how the manager's jobs screen affects them, would fit better in such an article, which is probably why they're not in this one.--[[User:Marty Smunstu|Marty Smunstu]] 00:26, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

== Skill level impact ==
 +
 
 +
A rather major piece of information appears to be either completely missing, or vaguely mentioned in various places - namely the effect of each skill on the labor outcome.
 +
 
 +
Since I have no idea how to edit a wikitable, and neither a complete understanding of the issue (just started playing, which is how I came across this omission in the first place), I would appreciate your help with rectifying this situation. So far I've gathered the following information (though cannot guarantee it's accuracy) - please review, edit, and merge with the labor table on the info page once the listing is completed and verified.
