That job agency has over 2,000 jobs, I guarantee you. The people that walk home without a job simply don't want one and thus fudge the numbers to not have to pick one up.
Just quickly, a lot of jobs are on hold at the moment, and it's all through the media that if you have a job right now, hold on to it.
On top of that, yeah, you're right. There are people that are your typical dole bludgers and are not even attempting to get a job when they're certainly capable of one. They should probably be taken out and shot. But you should be a little more lenient in regards to people who are actually incapable of work. It's not their fault and they certainly can't help it. I for one think that'd be frustrating as all hell, wanting to be able to actually earn a decent amount of money instead of surviving on nothing. Just as an example, my mum. She could probably have a full disability pension to say she doesn't have to work at all, but its such a pathetic amount that she more or less has to, so she does, and its an incredible physical struggle for her. She can't actually work normal hours though, but thats a whole separate issue. And you know what? I see her frustration with herself, she's always been a dedicated and hard worker, and to now be unable to work like that, it's really tough on her, and I imagine there are others out there just like that.
Not everyone on a pension is a lazy fuck who is trying to avoid work.
EDIT; having said that, I'm off to bed. Nighty night.
