Sorry for pinching the headline from this piece in the newspaper but couldn't think of a better way to put it.
here
I work with the unemployed and have seen so many cases of utter hopelessness brought about by this target (if indeed it is a target).
Once Job-seekers stops ,even for just one week,then the knock-on effect with regard to housing benefit ,council tax benefit etc is huge.
This is such a disgrace but no-one will o anything about it because ,somehow, the unemployed must deserve it.
But those who sit in judgement should know that any of the people I work with were once (and sincerely hope to be again) middle management types who lost out in the redundancy stakes.
It could be you next.That is the scary thing.
