Somebody answer the $64,000 question if there is work for these people on benefits, why is there not at least a minimal wage job for the same work, or are the govt just trying to bring back slavery.
One of the other issues is somebody with a mortgage who needs a certain level of income to sevice the payments, is expected to take a minimum wage, have his mortgage protection stopped as he has started work only to get into mortgage arrears because he is not earning enough.
