Game mechanics - Assembly workers recruiting
Starting from scenario 15C1 (also rightly for next scenarios 16C1, 17C1, etc), developers of GMC simulator added new feature with increased competition in the labor market of assembly workers. In earlier scenarios 12C1-14C3 labor market of assembly workers almost always allowed to recruit the exact number of staff specified in the decision, now it is possible to recruit 100% of the specified number only with comparative weak competition between companies in the group. The "capacity" of the labor market decreased by 2 and workers are not enough for everyone. Particularly brightly the shortage of labor market appears in the final stages of the championship, which rises intense competition between the teams even more.
