Or min wage is to low to get them out of their hammocks.

Raising the minimum wage doesn’t create any jobs. On the contrary, it precludes them by law for not meeting the arbitrary benchmark established by a third party entirely ignorant of the work to be performed and its value to the supplier and consumer.
If you think people are too richly rewarded by the welfare state for staying in their hammocks, making it illegal for them to work doesn’t change anything positively.
Get rid of the welfare and get rid of the laws that preclude market determined wages. Insofar as they are ‘effective’, wage floors can only create additional unemployment by preventing trade that would have otherwise taken place.
