Fun post!
I just started playing Tiny Tower, a free app for the iPhone developed by Nimblebit. I thought I'd share some tips that I've learned along the way.
1. Save your bucks for elevator upgrades. I use my bucks mostly for elevator upgrades. Everything else, I wait for or buy with coins.
2. Dress your people. I put hats on all the people who have their dream jobs so I know who stays put and who can move around.
3. Fire employees all the time. Unless they have a dream job, I put my people on unemployment until I need them to stock a store. This way, I can have less residential floors and by moving them around, I can fill up the maximum number of floors.
4. Evict low rating employees. I try to have all my employees with at least three skill numbers five and higher. If they only have two that are five and higher, they aren't diverse enough and I evict! If a floor has two employees, and I only need one to stock. I fire one of them so they can be put to another job.
5. Take a look at BitBook. I check in BitBook every so often, sometimes they will point out employees that are troublesome. You'll find that these employees should be evicted because of low skill ratings anyway.
Have fun!

Business Pyramid
The business pyramid no longer shows a CEO at the top, with employees and customers at the bottom. Today's pyramid highlights three areas that are the foundation of Design Your Business' mantra.
Customers • Employees • Profits
Like an equal-sided triangle, each has equal value and each needs the other for support. Together, they strengthen the foundation of a successful business. Focus on only one, and the others suffer.
Contrary to popular belief, the customer isn't always right. They often don't know what they want and what they say isn't what they believe. Give great customer service, go above and beyond for the customer, but not at the expense of backing your employees or growing your profits.
Employees want to see profits as much as the business owner. Successful businesses often can reward employees with more than just money. When the company is doing well, the employees have more pride and are more interested in personal growth.
Growing profits doesn't always mean raising prices. It means providing a unique product or service at the most competitive price by working with costs and the marketable value. Working on a freelance project magnifies this theory. A freelance consultant will do their best work when paid an ideal price, however, if they are charging too much the quality starts to go down. If they are paid too little, the quality also goes down. There is a link to how much you pay and the quality you receive on BOTH ends of the spectrum.
