Join the new world

I just added 100 jobs.

Now thats progress
🙂

PM that new fella NS. Pay him well too. 😉

Federalist Party Gifts is now hiring zero skilled workers

I guess it was just a bad coincidence.

Hi Joe,

Canada also ran out of zero-level jobs today - a concerned citizen posted this, I opened some zero-level positions in my company, and had seven new workers in about ten minutes.

Now here's something to consider: Canada has 248 new citizens today - nice! We normally have about 10. I just checked USA and you have 610 - how many do you normally have?

Meanwhile, Romania has 72, Spain has 70, Indonesia has 82, Norway has 40 ... but UK has 195.

Suddenly, three large English-speaking communities have a ton of new members? Seems phishy to me.

Wow Jaffle that is strange

I don't know about the rest of the new folks but I followed an advertisement to get here today. Probably a new advertising campaign by the erepublik folks.

Well, we were hiring. Jobs were snatched up quickly. We might have a few more up soon.

LOL@Nonesuch: 100 jobs paying 1 USD in a Q2 industry? So they lose 2 wellness a day and get 1 USD to cover it? Do you feel like you are doing them a favor?

i will put up a few q1 jobs at 2.02 my starting salary and then I bump them at each skill level

The company I work for is located in the US of A

My jobs filled in 7 mins 8-O

Welcome to the game everyone!

started a new company to offer some new jobs

Lotta new players...

Great owner! Good business!

I also posted 100 jobs like NS, but I can only hold 40 skill lvl 0's though 🙁 I did my part, though!

It's great to see new faces. Big high five to the admin team.

(Finbar Azulos) I posted a few new jobs. Only 3 mind you, I can't really afford 100 new employees.

Thing you gotta remember Joe, import taxes aren't doing this. The great influx of 600 new people did. The market just wasn't prepared for that at all. Also, Congress is suppose to get an alert when there are no skill 0 jobs. Guess some bit of code failed this time.

I hired 10 employees the other day in my Wood Company in Oklahoma... Yes, I accidentally bought a wood company in Oklahoma (0 bonus) and it has failed miserably, but I thought I'd open some jobs. I'm about out of funding to keep paying them so I'm about to have to just let them go unless someone can give me around $10.50 to pay them... lol.

We'd usually get around 100 or so new players daily. Haven't seen 600 new players yet. I wonder why so many?

@Jewitt: I just hired 10 people with under 1 skill... Just have to pray I won't need to fire them if I run out of money.

(As Jewitt, this is my org) - Actually, the skill 0 jobs never ran out in eUSA. What happened was there was one company which had only a few more positions open before everyone else on IRC noticed it; that was when the word got out.

added roughly 80 jobs with more in the works

filled all positions within minutes BTW... There is a huge need in this current market. Great article to educate people on the needs of this economy.

I started off in Norway, they have (last I checked) a nice handful of Q1 jobs, so I started there, and worked my way up to I believe level 2 land, then I moved here.

Admin needs to slow down their advertising campaign. The market can't handle this much growth. Are we going to keep seeing this much growth? If so, our economy's going to need high import taxes so people will buy the excess goods that will be produced in the US.

The erepublik advertising campaign definitely brought me here. I joined a couple days ago after seeing a banner ad - had never even heard of the game before. There were plenty of 0 skill jobs at the time.

i would start a company but not enough gold hard to get

Hey Business Owners!

I was two days away from a HW medal when I got my company (America Rocks Q1 Diamonds - shameless plug, I know). Do you get working credit for running a company? If not, someone want to buy this damn thing from me for two days so I can get my medal? I only have an hour left before glory slips away!

It's not just here in the eUSA. The same thing happened in eAustralia. Thirteen 0-level job opens I had posted for my two companies there filled over night.

Welcome to our the new tax policies -- imposed by our elected leaders -- in action...

This is a direct result of companies not being able to make product and make money on it, so they have cut back on the new folks and those with marginal wellness.

I am a level 3+ worker that's been in the game about a month. I haven't been able to get my wellness sustained over 60. So, I get fired by a prospective new employer even though I work every day (because they want great wellness).

Failed policy and leadership!!!

well come to my company..i'll level up your salary according to your wellness...

I just hired 4 zero skill people, doing my part for eAmerica!

I have to agree on import taxes.

Sure, foreign imports drive the prices down, helping out the 'middle class', the people who already have a job that pays well, but they make it much harder for anyone who's trying to move up.

Imports make the exchange rate go way high, preventing US citizens from getting the gold to start companies, and they keep US companies from making enough profit to upgrade (which is why all our Q5 stuff is an arm and a leg). Without as many US companies, we don't have the competition for workers that would make decent salaries mandatory, either.

All in all, import taxes make us poorer in the short term, but long term they pay off.

I just started playing in the US today (tho I've had an account in Norway for awhile)...I just don't get it. How is a game fun when the best job you can get with no skill pays $1.35 a day? Seeing my account dwindling at $4ish doesn't allow me to buy anything...so what's the point of sticking around? Must we spend the first month playing this game logging in for 5 minutes, working, training, and then buying food when we can afford it?

Maybe I'm just missing something...

"Suddenly, three large English-speaking communities have a ton of new members? Seems phishy to me."

That sort of thing usually tends to indicate that some popular forum or another has discovered the game and sent an influx of new players as they start recommending it to each other, or that the game was advertised somewhere that has a lot of traffic.

It isn't always a sinister plot or anything - I basically joined the game as a bunch of people from a game I used to play all came over at once. I think most of them are gone now, though...

I joined yesterday.... I came cause of an advertisement I saw... I happened to be playing another multi player game lol.. luckily I got a job, but it does not pay very well so I have already lost 4 wellness points....

Phishy? It`s called targeted advertisement...

I did end up finding a job. Thanks for noticing the issue. Another thing that might discourage people is the majority of 0 skill jobs pay 1-2/day at most. The lowest price food seems to hover around 1.74. I have acquired some skills now, and plan to leave my indentured servitude at the Squimm Group shortly. Had it not been for a few donations from some other players that took note of my issue, I may have quit playing. At any rate, this seems to be an interesting game and I am looking forward to helping move the eUSA forward. Looks like we have some issues to overcome.

Unfortunately with players with 0 skill, the company actually loses money by employing you. Thats why they only pay you 1-2 dollars. Take heart though! With that and your $5 citizen fee you can buy food until you skill up(2 days) and get a raise.

Another tip: Only work in a Q1 job(one that only has 1 star) as it only takes away one wellness when you work. Higher quality jobs are for when you become more established with higher salary, house, etc.

Is anyone willing to loan, so I can create a small business!

Yes if I did not enjoy trivia so much I would have quit long ago.
Told I would receive X gold not happening. I understand that I should get 5 gold with my 2nd hard worker lets hope so. I can not invest real money in a game I was told would be free.

Yes, I believe that there is a new advertising campaign, as this site was brought to my attention but a day ago by a banner ad on a proboards website I frequent. I'm glad to see that the job problem was taken care of before I submitted my resume to a zero skill level job position, though. 😉

Excellent article. Again, my opinion probably won't pull much weight for I joined just today, and saw that there were no jobs open, I left a shout about it,(and asked if there was anything the government could do about it) not knowing what to expect. You are right, this game seems like it could be really boring, if you can't work. Fortunately, less than an hour later, a single skill 0 job opened up, one started by Joe. Anway, great article.

Thanks for the new job Wooglin. Your dedication to us noobies is an inspiration. Also thanks to everyone else that has posted jobs.
