*Jobs* are used to help residents
make more money, get a better house, and afford more stuff. There are many jobs, each with an unlock condition, and possible special benefits. However, if the resident fails switching jobs, their stats will go down. When a job is mastered (master reaches 100%), the maximum amount of research point you can have is increased, based on the job (see the table below). This can be especially important, since many buildings cannot be researched with the default maximum of research points.
Most jobs require a specific building (or buildings) to be in range of an office. Some require a specific office (normal, medium, large). Small and Medium offices are 1x1 in size, and have a range of 5x5 for buildings that result in jobs. Large offices are 2x2, and have a 10x10 range.
