Hi everyone. This was by far the largest survey we’ve done and I spent a lot of time editing it down to make it digestible for you. Unlike past surveys, this one had lots of stuff consolidated or edited out to make it as entertaining as possible, including some small parts of the town. The Bureau just wants to ensure you that we did in fact survey the entire town, even if it wasn’t included in the video.

Lynea is a weird character, since she only exists for the Creation Club fishing add-on so the player can go teach her how to fish in exchange for her amulet of Dibella. Her having an amulet of Dibella could imply she's either a member of the local temple or-given that she literally spent all of her time in the bar wearing low-cut clothing-a lady of the night. The former wouldn't make as much sense as I'm assuming priestesses aren't allowed to trade their amulets away for things and remain in the temple. If she's a lady of the night, she could be trying to either get out of the trade or supplement her income with fishing. If either of those are true, she could be considered as employed, but given the fact that the only thing she does is barter her only apparently valuable piece of property in exchange for fishing lessons I'm going to assume she's very much not employed. Her constant presence in a bar does not help her case.

You actually missed something that is crucially important to getting an accurate picture of the employment situation in Markarth - the place called "The Warrens". It's a downtrodden set of halls in the belly of Markarth where the sick, poor, and unemployed are housed. Enumerating this section as well will bring up the unemployment numbers of the city, and also point to some concerning trends in the city - the poor, sick, and unemployed being shunted away out of sight suggests a very grim view on "undesirables" in the city, and in combination with the use of slavery in Cidhna Mine, it seems that while there is enough work for a larger portion of the populace to be employed, the use of slave labor takes jobs aways from those who need them, increasing the rift between the working class and the land owners of Markarth. It also suggests a critical lack of social security systems, despite Markarth being a seemingly very wealthy city.

Am I the only one who always avoided Markarth because it always felt like I was hated there? Even without the ridiculous murder plot, NPCs are so grumpy and hostile

@any_austin I know this isn't related, but I wanted to tell you how much I love your music, I had surgery last week and your music was what got me up and dancing for the first time. Thanks for being such a cool, talented guy!

big fan of the editing in this one! loved the transitions and the prison labor bit. I still enjoy the old format that's more casual as well but the editing added a lot to this video :)

I like to imagine this takes place in a universe where the Dragonborn, of his own volition, said "Y'know, someone needs to track the unemployment rate in this country." So he founded, ran, and surveyed for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by himself. None of these activities are sanctioned or endorsed by the government of Skyrim.
