About the best you can do is try to infer it from watching the ratio of
R to C demand but it's far from intuitive...

I use the CSX Unemployment Office lot for this purpose. As well as a job
(or dole as you please) for 750 low wealth sims it gives you some
insight on current jobs/workforce.
Try it out:

Any talk about employment is going to involve the pathfinding and demand
engines.

Basically, every residential Sim needs a job. After the building completes
construction, the Sim starts looking for the nearest job that fits their
wealth level. If they don't find a suitable job after awhile, they show a
No Job Zot and the property is abandoned or distressed (devolves to a lower
wealth level and tries again).

Basically, every Sim that needs to have a job has to find one. Otherwise
they skip town. So employment is always at 100%.
