Again you're only proving that you must live in or near a major population center. The town I was stuck in at the time had about 5 bars and 3 cafes, none of which needed staff, and "endless" customer service roles? The last time I was back in that **** hole most of the shops had completely shut down. They were really not seeking staff. I'm obviously not saying that finding a job is impossible because I did find one. I'm saying it can take time. Might be weeks, might be months, but it's basically unheard of to go out to "find a job" and be working the very next day. If you think it's not the case, then you either haven't experienced it first hand, or you are lying.

In fact, even the job I did get, for the company I still work for, it was three months from application to starting work. Four months from application to pay in the bank. It took them 3 weeks to offer an interview, another 3 weeks from the interview to get a call offering the job, and 6 weeks from that call until the start date.

Once again - I am not condoning long term benefits for people who have no intention of working. I'm saying that benefits are ESSENTIAL because of how long the process of finding work can be.
