Is there an update to this problem? I have installed the update from 4/23. It appears I am still having this problem. When I puchase a career item progress seems to stop for that career. My family member does go thru a work cycle and does earn money, but I am not seeing career progress. For example in Generation 3 I updated the office and my kitchen worker advanced to the next level overnight while the office worker made very little progress. In generation 4 I upgraded the Kitchen and overnight the office worker was promoted but the kitchen work is still in same spot.I am on generation 4 so the upgrade are rather expensive.

I have been too impatient to see if they make no progress at all or if it just slows them down to a crawl because I have purchased a new upgrade as soon as I can afford it.

BTW - Miss Kathy's first link in this discussion gives me a HTTP 404 error - Web Page can not be found.
