Workforce represents the amount of workers, counting the people in the proportion of the city's population that are willing to work. At the start, the Workforce percentage is 60% of the population.
Most frostbreaking, district construction or operation, and district buildings require workforce. If they can't get enough workforce to fulfil the Requirement, then they will not operate. The districts themselves can affect workforce by using the district action Half Shifts.
Workforce use can be reduced by adjacency between Industrial and Extraction workers with the "Shared Workers" adjacency bonus. Alternatively if at least three of the district's tiles are within range of an Air Transport Hub, they will also get a workforce bonus.
The workforce percentage can be changed by labor laws or ideas. Harsher labour laws allow a higher Workforce percentage, although this may cause tension or faction disapproval. The amount of active workers may also be reduced by sickness from Disease or injury from overwork, such as the Emergency Shifts district action.
