Works as intended Asam vision unemployed not working

The ASAM vision for unemployed only seems to show up settlers that are completely unassigned. Settlers assigned to a residential plot but not a work plot are not showing up as unemployed in my settlements.
Is this a known problem? I seem to remember encountering it before.
 
I can't say for certain what the issue is, but I know that I've seen issues with the ASAM vision as a whole not showing certain things or highlighting random things that aren't covered in what marker it's got activated. On my game it seems to happen and go away randomly, but if you assign someone to a plot of any kind it triggers them to un-highlight regardless of what marker you've got selected. I've found that swapping the vision marker to something else and then resetting the cell (leaving and coming back, resting for a long time, etc) and then putting it on what you want again always solves the problem though.
 
ASAM Vision can become out of sync over time when using City Plans or prebuilding lots of plots. The way we track which NPCs have which things doesn't always work remotely - it's an unfortunate problem with the way the game engine works.

Using the Back to Work or Time For Reassignment options from the Town Meeting Gavel will attempt to clean up all of the tracking tags so that future uses of ASAM vision work as expected.

Another thing that can be problematic for ASAM Vision, and there is no fix for this that I've come up with, is Workshop Plus flight mode. The way it works, the Find Homeless and Find Unemployed are not compatible with it. So you need to toggle that off before entering WS Mode after kicking on one of those visions.
