A  Job is where  Pops work to produce resources on planets. Jobs are divided into different strata, with one higher than the other. Most Jobs are created by Districts and Buildings and thus limited in number.

Pops will automatically fill empty Jobs that they are capable of holding, and will choose the job that will get the most out of their traits based on a weighting system; however, priority can be set towards and away from specific Jobs to ensure they are filled before others. New Pops that are more suitable for a Job than the current Pop holding the Job may take the job from it.

It is possible to force a re-evaluation of jobs by blocking and then re-enabling the jobs.

Job categories

Most jobs belong to a job category that is mentioned on certain tooltips and groups it together with other similar jobs. This allows modifiers to apply to multiple job types. Additive modifiers do not apply to sub-categories but multiplicative ones do. For example, Mineral Purification Plants add +1 Mineral output to Miners. This doesn't apply to just the specific  Miner job, but to all jobs in the Miner jobs category, including but not limited to  Scrap Miners and  Cave Cleaners.  Livestock,  Grid Amalgamated, and  purge jobs will benefit from the corresponding building (such as Mineral Purification Plants for lithoid livestock, lithoid processing, or lithoid forced labor), but are not otherwise considered to be e.g. miners for the purpose of modifiers.

Regular empires

Regular empires have three strata. If a pop takes a job above its stratum, it will be promoted to the higher stratum. If there are no available jobs of equal or higher stratum, the pop will become unemployed, slowly demoting in stratum and causing  happiness penalties at most levels of living standards.

Ruler jobs

For  Ruler jobs, new pops will only take the job from a current pop if the new pop's weight is ×5 higher.

Specialist jobs

For  Specialist jobs, new pops will only take the job from a current pop if the new pop's weight is ×1.5 higher. Chattel Slaves cannot work Specialist or Ruler jobs. Other, more privileged, slaves may work some Specialist jobs. See Species Rights for details.

Gestalt Consciousness

 Gestalt Consciousness empires have only two main strata,  Menial Drones and  Complex Drones. Unlike individualist empires, drones demote immediately.

Menial Drone jobs

 Menial Drone jobs are generally equivalent to Worker stratum jobs from regular empires.

Overlord jobs

Overlord jobs are generated by Overlord holdings and can be used by both individualist and  Gestalt Consciousness subjects. The upkeep is paid by the subject. All overlord jobs have a priority of 4 and the subject cannot lower or raise the job's priority.

Special jobs

Unemployed

Pops that do not have a job, either because none is available or because their stratum is higher than that of available jobs, are  unemployed. Unemployed pops produce the following and cannot have their output improved by job modifiers:

Living standards	Unemployment effects
Mandatory Pampering	−80% Happiness
Chemical Bliss	−20% Happiness for all strata
Academic Privilege Decent Conditions Stratefied Economy Basic Subsistence Decadent Lifestyle	−60% Happiness if  Ruler  −50% Happiness if  Specialist  −40% Happiness if  Worker
Utopian Abundance	+2 Research  +1 Unity
Social Welfare	+1 Unity
Shared Burden	+1 Unity −45% Stratum Demotion Time
Drone	−75% Upkeep if robotic  +1 Minerals if  Hive Mind +1 / +1.5 / +1 Research with  Natural Neural Network
Any other	−40% Happiness if  Ruler  −30% Happiness if  Specialist  −20% Happiness if  Worker

Purging

Pops that have the  Undesirables stratum due to being purged produce resources as they decline based on the purge type. All purge types also produce  +2 unity with the  Fanatic Purifiers civic and  +2 society with the  Devouring Swarm civic;  Determined Exterminator empires receive  5~100 unity for each organic pop purged.

Purge	Happiness	Output
Displacement	−30%
Neutering	−20%
Necrophage	−50%	Purged pop becomes primary species
Extermination	−1000%
Forced Labor	−1000%	+3 Food  +3 Minerals
Processing	−1000%	+6 Food if pop is biological  +4 Minerals if pop is  Lithoid  +3 Alloys if pop is robotic
Chemical Processing	−1000%	+6 Energy

Forced Labor, Processing, and Chemical Processing purge types are affected by buildings which increase the base output of those resource types (e.g. Food Processing Centers increase the food output by +2).

Subversive Jobs

High crime, deviancy, or unemployment can create planet modifiers that add subversive jobs. Pops will abandon subversive jobs if  Ruler,  Specialist, or  Soldier jobs become available. All subversive jobs have negative output.

Job	Output	Requirements	Description
Criminal	−5 Trade value +5 Criminal branch office trade value	Criminal-related planet modifier	These criminals live outside the bounds of legal society, some by choice and some by circumstances.
Deviant Drone	−1 Energy	Drone Deviancy planet modifier	These deviants no longer obey the Hive Mind.
Corrupt Drone	−1 Energy	Drone Corruption planet modifier	These drones have been corrupted and no longer obey the directives of the core intelligence.
