Many citizens in civilizations will have their own jobs to work in/for their kingdom. They serve purpose to help expand culture and their home kingdom. A unit's job determines most of a unit's behaviour tasks.

What are Civilization Jobs?[]

Civilizations will have jobs in a village, they will help expand and maintain their kingdom in various ways. Using the Debug Menu, you can have the game show these citizen jobs using certain job icons above units. What this means is that it marks certain units with an icon to show what job they currently do is. Units can switch/leave jobs depending on if they are needed or not.
