Corrections:
In the updated version of the rules, when the working class uses Education, they can upgrade skilled workers that are in a company, they just can't be on a skilled worker space. Middle class skilled workers can still only be upgraded if they're unemployed. (I'm sure it's more balanced this way, but man it's annoying that these rules are so slightly different)

During the State's scoring phase, after earning points, you reduce the legitimacy tracks TO half (rounded up), not BY half (rounded up), so the example is a little bit off.
