Now there's some great ideas. Force someone to travel 2 hours each way to a job they don't like, while denying someone living closer who would like the job, and keeping them as a dole statistic.
But I suppose it's seen as "doing something".
If there really were these thousands upon thousands of mythical proper jobs just going begging, we wouldn't have this situation in the first place. The ones with "attitude" who don't really want to work, are merely reducing the genuine competition for the few jobs the many are seeking.
I don't think it's a matter of "forcing" someone to travel further afield or "denying" it to someone living closer . If that's currenly the only job available, then it should be applied for, rather than dismissing it out of hand because it's easier to get welfare. What if someone living closer isn't even interested or suited for the job?
I often think it's weird to be travelling out of the city while others travel in. Probably could swap jobs but it's not that easy, is it? Would the closer job suit? Would you suit the other boss?
