Stellaris II: I, For One, Welcome Our New Robot Fungus Hivemind Overlords

Man, being the galactic trade hub (-10% market fee), Diplomacy Traditions (-10% market fee), and an import/export leader mandate (-5% market fee) = 5% market fee. All goods are essentially interchangeable to me now.

Anybody manage to get it down to 0?

My current problem is that population growth seems to far outstrip jobs I can build. I'm frantically offloading as much pop as possible from my main world to the colonies, but I still get unemployment everywhere. Hope I get rare resources soon so I can upgrade a few buildings. They seem to go from 2 to five jobs, that should help a lot.

The thing I found that really helped with unemployment was Commercial Zones, which give you 5 Clerk jobs for 1 building slot without requiring resources. Then as you get upgraded buildings (10 researcher jobs for one building slot? Don't mind if I do!), you replace them with other things.
