[Star Wars] What was it like living under the Empire in Galactic Core planets?

Obviously living on the Outer Rim the day to day life hasn't changed on many planets. Some planets on the Outer Rim might be exploited for their resources and be under a strict occupation to stamp out dissidents. However, what was it like living on Coruscant or similar planets at the heart of the Empire? Would loyal Imperial citizens be given much more freedom or would it still be under strict control? What do businesses such as small shops all the way up to  corporations have to deal with?

Probably not all that different than it was under the republic. Ruling and policing an entire planet is a pretty daunting task, no matter how well organised your empire is. Most likely they just left the majority of the existing system in place under the condition of accepting imperial rule and paying taxes accordingly.

Oh and a military career is now a very viable option for a young citizen, while in the republic era it would have been laughable.
