Employment Rate

Employment Rate can be described as the number of Residents necessary to run a Commercial or Industrial Building in Ultrapolis. It is always seen in red typeface over the Building's Cost. If this number cannot be achieved, while the structure can still be built, it will not generate Income or count towards your Population Limit until all criteria are met. For this reason, it is smart to build Residential Buildings early in a game, so you have a steady supply of workers for any Commercial or Industrial Buildings that you might have in play. Employment Rates are always about 5% of a Building's Population Cap.
