If somebody is going to be expected to do work in order to receive their benefit why doesn't the DSS just find a genuine job for them paid by an employer?

Is that not the same as the Government creating new jobs?
Just look around you next time you take a walk anywhere. The whole country needs tidying up. Have a walk around you nearest park. Does it need work doing? How nice would the town centre look with 20 people walking round tidying up instead of 1?
To me the biggest problem won't be finding useful work for people, it will be keeping them doing the work.
