The Professions screen only shows a tooltip icon for the minimum recommended number of laborers when there are fewer than that number. When there are sufficient numbers the player has no idea what the minimum number currently is, except by assigning villagers as Builders until the number of laborers falls below that number. It would be nice to have that number always visible.

Yes, agreed! It’s about 10-15% of current population but it is VERY difficult to determine without going in the red so the “!” will tell for sure.

How necessary is it to have the number of laborers up? I have run really low and only had a few stocking issues since i have 6 forester camps so my sticks and stones come in without extra help. Could there be extra levels as well? Right now there’s only three: good enough, not enough and zero. I think a 4th category between the “low laborers” and 0 would be good to add
At later stages I found with low laborers that buildings weren’t getting automatically repaired and a bunch of them started popping up for manual repair. Apart from that, I think it’s general inefficiency - goods don’t get picked up or delivered, manual harvesting jobs don’t get done, and it just slows your progress down. I guess it’s like not having tools, it doesn’t stop you but it does slow you down.
Here here!
