Cut off the free money such as Unemployment after 6 months, and disability to perfectly healthy people, and you will see a lot of unemployed people start working again.
If you give unemployment after 6 months you should give jobs such as cleaning the highways, and ditch’s, rebuilding bridges with unemployed people working for the Govt.
Giving checks without work is horse dung.
I just had a man tell me the other day he would nbot work for less than the 100,000 dollars he was making when he was laid off, and why should he when he is getting free money from unemployment?
Not sure about that: there's a concerted effort (one could say 'conspiracy') among the industry
to drive down the wages for STEM-jobs by "creating" the need for foreign workers (H-1B) who work the jobs at lower salaries, thereby influencing the average-wage downwards.
There is incentive for both government and big-business to squeeze down on these sorts of jobs.

There's incentive for government not to keep the infrastructure up: if there's problems with things people use, then when they are damaged/deficient there is push for them to be fixed: this allows for a sort of kickback/bribery economy where the politicians are the clear victors. (See road construction jobs.)

Oh, quite agreed; but on the other hand the system we have is horse dung: taxes are taken from you [withholdings] to support a government that arms, equips, and [legally] shelters terrorists (see Fast & Furious), embraces corruption, and will use it's power to squash you if you happen to dissent from its political worldviews.

I'm not on unemployment, I never have been… but $100,000? Wow.
