Response to:http://varick2.blogspot.com/2010/05/unemployment.html

I think this is a really interesting post. I agree that some people may be considered "bad" if they are unemployed but able to work and suitable work is available. I think that this is a small minority and they should be classed as benefit cheats.

I would suggest that sometimes it is not that they are being bad, it is that the jobs available are not good enough.

Sometimes people may do a lot of unpaid work for others that is not recognised, such as volunteering or caring for family. The amount that they save the country by providing their services effectively for free, more than justifies them not being employed.

Some unemployed people may seem to be that way through choice but they may have have undiagnosed learning difficulties or mental disorders.

There are many different types of unemployed people and it is wrong to force people into jobs that are not suitable for them.
