All of those people are not applying for the jobs. It would be foolish to think that they are.

I'll give you ten percent of those, but even if I met you at half, there'd still be too many people for jobs. If only one person is shitting their pants looking for that job that doesn't exist while the other six laze about, is it far to punish him as well? Is 1/7 reasonable collateral?
We have a system in place to make sure people are sincerely looking for work. There certainly are ways to exploit it, but it's a huge stretch to assume there are as many jobs as people who want them.
You understand the maximum JSA is £70 a week, right? That's one hundred and seventeen dollars a week to live on. I'm classed as a young adult until I'm 25, so I get £50 a week. The minimum wage for a full time job is £252 a week. Do you still think living on benefits is a comfortable lifestyle?
