  1. what’s not clear to me: does increasing the wage actually affect the job quality? That is, does it increase the efficiency of the workers? For example, if construction workers are paid more do buildings go up faster?

    • That’s a good question. I am not 100% positive, but my guess is no. Tropicans have a job skill bar that fills up as they do the same job. High wages make them happier and raises the quality rating, but I’m unclear if it indirectly affects their ability to gain experience on the job faster. It’s possible, but I often underpay my Tropicans and don’t run into any issues, especially when I enact the literacy program and set the appropriate buildings to support learning.
