Turn it into a beachside resort hotel. People can still work there but I have a better idea, they can work as hotel people, and work by the hour, but if there not on for a hour they earn the unit rate they have worked, then the more work you do, you can level up, to do bigger things and earn more money. For non-workers you can rent rooms to use for meetings or just a party/chat, or if you just want to get away
-Job Ideas
1. Maid 100c per hr
2. Bellhop 200c per hr
3. Pool boy/girl 250 per hr
4. Small business worker (spa, cafe, ect) 300 per hr
5. Big business worker (same thing, just different jobs and more money) 500 per hr
6. Board member (treasurer, manager, ect) 600 per hr
7. Vice president, Senior VP, Managing VP 700-800
8. President 800-900
9. Ceo 1k
Then with this, they could earn more and not wait like 6 hrs to work and get cheap amounts, this would boost the yo-economy
-Hotel Ammendities
1. Pool
2. Cafe?
3. Book Store
4. Spa
5. Bar
6. Gameroom (play games like the heart hunter, ect)
Thats all I have for ideas at the time

NO

Well, it sounds like it should be tested first. Remember what happened last time the Widgets Factory was taken away?

*Flashback*

yeah let's not change what is working for everyone 100c per hour? I don;t think so!

I think the problem isn't the idea, but the monetary amount you have chosen to list.
If you edited your post to put a lower job at 1k, I think people would react far more favorably. It would need to be tested though, that is for sure. And there should absolutely be the option to work the way we always have if the experience doesn't work out.

well i love this idea tbh

Prefer to keep the factory and make a hotel near it and if you have time - go work in hotel and do extra jobs for more money...
