An 800,000-plus jobs gap between ‘welfare to work’ and reality

<http://theconversation.com/an-800-000-plus-jobs-gap-between-welfare-to-work-and-reality-22226>

"The problem is not supply-side inadequacies but the demand for labour:
there are far too few jobs on offer."

It's no good trying to "encourage" people to "get a job" if there are
far less jobs available than people who need them.  People need more
financial support, not less, to help them find or create new
opportunities to contribute to society.
