Rejected petition End Jobseekers allowance, & instead.........

More details

This e-petition calls for the Government to take more responsibility for the lack of jobs/unemployment figures by ending Jobseekers allowance, & instead creating `guaranteed` full time/part time jobs in the public sector, with the maximum qualification needed as per ` work capability assessment`.

I just feel that there is a little too much in the way of pressure on people that `really` are trying to find work, & not enough understanding of the difficulty by Government.

Maybe there could be a choice of employment, such as paying jobless the minimum wage to find work in the private sector.
