There are jobs to be had, most of them jobs people don't want since it's less of a job than their last jobs. And since they are getting benefits and not hungry, there's no incentive to take a job that is considered undesirable. Betya the second they cut off unemployment & food stamps, all those shitty jobs are filled real quick.
My old brother in law was on stamps/welfare and when I asked him why doesn't he just take the $35k a year job that he could easily get he said "I'd rather get $24k in state/govt' benefits and play xbox all day then work a boring $35k a year a job."
That sums up the problem in this and most other western countries.
