Read employment through the resident, employer and contract, with dates and working conditions kept together.

Known limits

Termination records currently represent employer collapse; other termination pathways remain unpopulated. Some catalogue job titles are unused. Education, household, banking and insurance links are unbuilt; the Transport pairing is registered but ungenerated. Milestones are sourced; intervening splits are calibrated.

FCTE models formal contracts, self-employment, informal-sector work, wages, benefits, pensions, promotions, terminations and re-employment within the same synthetic city where people are born, live, get sick and eventually die.

Employment records remain connected to the citizens, wards and businesses that shape who works where — and to the same economic-event mechanism that raises and lowers hiring and termination pressure, year by year.

FCTE Employment represents the formal and informal work, income, benefits and career events needed to model the labor market within the wider city.

Employers, departments, job titles and contracts — Compensation context, employment type, payroll history and statutory-deduction context.

Represents income-generating work outside formal payroll structures, including self-employment, casual and gig work, and small-enterprise activity, with dated work and income context linked to the synthetic resident lifecycle.

Promotions, terminations and re-employment — a citizen can change jobs, be laid off and start a new contract elsewhere, all as dated, connected rows.

A yearly, per-city historical employment index modifier that shifts formal-employment formation and termination pressure — the labor market reacts to conditions, it doesn't run on autopilot.

Real, fully defunct national employers populated so their real collapse ripples through citizens' employment history — not a fabricated ongoing company.

Leave, employee benefits, pension contributions, union membership, work permits and professional licenses tied to the same contract.

Synthetic, not administrative payroll data: FCTE Employment does not reproduce a real employer's payroll registry or a real citizen's pay slip. It generates statistically grounded synthetic employment relationships bounded by real regulatory and wage frameworks.

Work moves through a life, not just a payroll run.

Employment is not a single status flag attached to a citizen — it moves through the same lifecycle stages every other domain does, bounded by the citizen's own demographic history.

Employment stays temporally consistent with the citizen's own demographic history — a contract cannot start before age 18 or after the citizen's own death. certification check / certification check enforce the age-18 floor for contracts and self-employment; certification check enforces that a contract cannot start after its own citizen's death date.

Employment conditions respond to the city’s historical economic context.

FCTE carries a yearly city-level economic condition signal into employment formation and termination pressure. The public site shows direction and historical context, but not the exact transformation formula, clamps, thresholds or coefficients.

Years without a material shock retain the city’s calibrated employment structure.

Contractionary periods increase informal-employment and termination pressure; expansionary periods move the model in the opposite direction. Exact response magnitudes are controlled.

Interpretation boundary: economic context changes population-level synthetic tendencies; it does not assert that a specific real person’s employment outcome was caused by a particular policy or event.

The labor market remembers its collapses.

this City Twin™ carry real, fully defunct national employers — populated so their genuine collapse traces as employment history for the citizens who worked there, not a fabricated ongoing company. Every Termination row that exists on Lagos today traces to one of these four employers. Select a marker to see the underlying evidence.

Cohort date windows and headcount milestones above are real and sourced (Wikipedia, Business Daily Africa, Capital Business, African Pilot Magazine, TechCabal). The size split within each window is this engine's own modeled shape, not an individually sourced percentage.

Automatic contract closure for deceased citizens is now a permanent part of Lagos employment generation.

Every Termination row live on Lagos Twin™ today traces to a historical employer collapse (REDUNDANCY). The broader day-to-day resignation, retirement and misconduct termination pathway is built into the model but has not yet populated non-collapse rows.

No synthetic citizen corresponds to a real worker. Job titles, wages and employer names are statistically generated, not drawn from a real payroll registry.

The job title catalog contains more valid titles than are realized in the current generated employment population. Catalog coverage is broader than observed usage, and no certification rule currently requires every catalog title to appear in a generated contract or employee record.

The real dated milestones — employer scale, closure and liquidation dates — are sourced. The modeled split of synthetic terminations between those milestones is FCTE calibration, not an individually sourced percentage.

Education, Households, Finance/Banking and Insurance links to Employment are not yet built in this engine. The Transport pairing (XREL-004) is registered but not yet generated on the Transport side.

The full certification battery (structural, temporal, career, qualification, licence, wage-floor and salary-reconciliation checks together) runs live against the Lagos release. 37 of 41 checks pass; the remaining 2 are known, disclosed residuals with a published rationale, not silent gaps — a credentialed title with no matching completed education record is reported as unverified rather than backfilled with a fabricated qualification, and the same discipline applies to the license-coverage check.

A real, documented national-carrier collapse exists in Employer — Nigeria's flag airline, insolvent and grounded in 2003 after decades of decline.

Station Supervisor at Nigeria Airways, ₦78,250/mo, 1979-01-26 → 2004-02-08 — a synthetic Contract aligned to the documented employer-collapse timeline.

Falls inside the documented Nigeria Airways liquidation window represented by the historical employer-collapse layer.

Station Supervisor at a different employer, ₦74,337.50/mo, active today — a real, published Contract row picking up 149 days after the Nigeria Airways termination.
