Description:

[For Victoria 3 Version 1.5]
A simple mod that should hopefully alleviate the employment issues in 1.5. Please load this mod after any other mods that change the economy or pop needs/AI.

Updates to pop needs and employment AI in 1.5 had the unintended consequence of making Subsistence Farms wildly productive and have a very high Standard of Living. Peasants will stay working in Subsistence Farms even if there are jobs with higher wages elsewhere.

This mod should hopefully aim to fix that. Here’s how it works:
-Raised the impact of wage increases for the Peasant AI, meaning they will be much more likely to move to higher-paying jobs.
-Lowered the default Standard of Living for Peasants from 5 to 4.5 to further discourage them from Subsistence Farms.

I will likely tweak this mod further based on feedback. Ive tested it on a few games and while hiring issues are not fully gone, they are much less severe.
