Cyclone Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 That doesn't change the fact that a requirement for JSA is looking for work and you can't restrict your chances of getting work by saying you will only work within walking distance of your house or that you will only take full time work. Agreed. But once you've found a job, there's nothing to stop you continuing to look for one closer to home to minimise transport costs. ---------- Post added 22-03-2016 at 07:33 ---------- Of course unemployed people eat lunch, and breakfast, and morning and afternoon snap. Walking, running or cycling to work to preserve the financial incentive that makes them better off than benefit claimant who can afford to drive. Is this the solution then? Nice try? You presented the potential pay rise once skilled scenario, no one else. Backatcha!! Why do I need to do more? They get more money, that's now been established. They have the chance to improve their pay. Now you want more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing at all stopping anyone looking for work closer to home but looking doesn't always yield results, they could also move closer to the job but that might increase living costs.

No one's disputing the blindingly obvious fact that working households have more money coming in than legitimate benefit households. My thread isnt questioning that detail, it's questioning whether working a low income job is worth the while if paying full wack rent and rates in addition to the other expenses raised ealier leaves working households only marginally better off. What makes you think workers have the chance to improve their pay? What if it isn't financially viable? What if they're refused? And I'm sure you realise that work able benefit claimants are able to improve their income too. There's nothing preventing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one except you, in the opening post. leaving many benefit claimants no worse off than someone who works a forty hour week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many more times need I Stress that? This isn't about earnings, it's about disposable cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 And sutty did the calculation, someone working on minimum wage has approximately twice the disposable cash left after everything is paid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop fibbing Cyclone. You know sutty pointed out that those calculations didn't cover certain expenses that affect quite a lot of families.

Cyclone Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 He did the calculation and then pointed out that he hadn't included travel expenses. Which are completely variable and might well be nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
