Employment (and its drawbacks)

So we have a cleaner. Let's call him Joe. He's keen, intelligent, hard working and motivated.

He's also on the dole and gets £45 for doing nothing.

So we give him 6 hours cleaning a week and pay him £30.

This results in his dole money being reduced by £25. So he's worked 6 hours for £5

Would you? Would I?

No, neither will he.

Solutions on a postcard please. Usual address.
