Are Dream Job employees a level 9 automatically

I don't know if this is a bug or by design, but I found that the "Imperial Items Missions" seem to be based on the actual level, not the item type. So if you needed eg "10 Defense Grids", and you use a Level Mover to swap in the Interrogation level to where the Turbolaser laser was, that mission turns into "10 Rebel Secrets". So you can swap in levels that you already have high item counts for.

However, the reward for completing the mission appears to change accordingly (it would decrease in the above scenario as Rebel Secrets are easier to acquire).

NOTE: This has been changed so that the mission is attached to the item, not the level. Moving levels no longer changes the requirements.

I would say that the bitizen with the dream job is more valuable than a highly skilled bitizen.

For example, a highly skilled bitizen would complete the job of ordering 100 items in, lets say, 10 minutes instead of 15, which isn't a bad deal.

BUT if another bitizen (even if they have low skills) dreamed of working in that level they would order double the amount of items in 15 minutes, creating 200. This equals more credits and more time between the next order. Plus, whenever you reward a bitizen with their dream job you get handed an imperial bux that you can save towards a better elevator (I've already bought the 75 bux one).

In short

• Level 9 bitizen = Less ordering time, normal amount of items
• Dream job bitizen = Normal ordering time, more amount of items, free imperial bux

You may also be lucky enough to come across a level 9 bitizen with a dream job.

Happy gaming! :)
