High/Low technology - effects on trade

[Paladin]

They are common traits for planets, they affect the Purchase/Sale price of goods, but not the availability rating. Would/should they affect the outcomes of trade or ability to find jobs?

It seems it would be easier to find a job on high tech worlds with easy access to communications/networking. With the opposite being true on low tech. Am I wrong?

There are probably many other factors involved, for example the degree
of automation or the relation between the required workforce and the po-
pulation able and willing to work.

High tech communications make it easier to find the available jobs, but
high tech does not at all guarantee that there are any jobs available, I
think. If machines and robots do almost all of the work, the majority of
the population could well be unemployed.

To give an extreme low tech example for the opposite: After the Thirty
Years War and the Plague people able to work were so rare over here
that one could just walk into any kind of business and take up a job.

[snark]This is a TL-8 world, where this stuff begins, and I've found it to be just the opposite, what with employers using the online job hunt stuff to keep people away from employment! Online job hunter and still unemployed![/snark]

I think that there should be a mechanism for it, like a streetwise, Intelligence or Social roll. But rust got it right; employment availability is not affected by the availability to spread job advertisement.
