So after the update from last Tuesday, and after having skilled up most of my gens, it looks like the "unemployed settlers" count is increasing after every adv that I play... example from tonight:
I had 2,458 unemployed settlers, with my pop maxed out and my standard amount of troops for each troop type. Played a VLT... finished it, maxed out pop and put troops in barracks to get back to my standard amounts... and now I have 2,788 unemployed settlers...
Could it be that the game is having difficulties taking into account the troops that are returned from the "First Aid" skill?
At this rate, I will be at 9,999 unemployed settlers before the month is over
