They’re right, unemployment is demoralising, whether the unemployed realises it or not. After a long period of unemployment and a struggle to find work, I was also developing a bad attitude until my beloved sister started her own business and made me a partner in it.
That said, I’m probably going to take flak for this, but the government and employers need to do their part as well, proving training to the disabled and forcing reasonably sized employers to provide opportunities for people with disabilities. Part of the reason I struggled to find work, especially in a recession, is because I have epilepsy and a specific learning difficulty, which I have to declare when applying or they would have a legitimate reason to fire me once they found out about the difficulties it caused. Needless to say, I suspect once they read about the difficulties, they just threw my application in the bin.
It is no good moaning about people being on disability and taking your hard-earned taxmoney if you do not have policies in place to support these people to find work and find a way around the prejudices of employers.
We should get John Stossel to host a program like this.
