Long term unemployed? I had many a year in full employment thank you, just consider the hassle an honest person would have to go through signing off then back onto job seekers for just one days employment?
It's not that folk don't want to work, the system and short term employment make it almost impossible.
Have you any idea what it takes to get back to full benefits being paid even if you only sign off for a day?
More people would be tempted to work without declaring it and that would cause greater grief than taking that money.
