I would have been 'statistically' unempolyed a few years back.
Since, we've become a single income household, save the help with tax credits etc (and I am not knocking Nu Labuor for that one at all, never will).

I got a small job coming up soon, but for a while I have been 'unemployed' in the tradiitonal sense (being a mum and studying), but I doubt if the govt cared or if Cameron would care to single me out as a 'problem', as I 'claimed' nothing for myself.

My contribution to the national kitty because of this little job will be virtually negligible too.

But I'll be 'working' none the less. I won't feel any more pride in myself as a result, just a little bit better off, which I'm looking forward to. For that reason alone people will almost always want to work more than they don't. Ain't that the point, mainly? Never did get the 'work ethic' bit TBH.

EDIT: Unless of course you have a career in mind, which I certainly do when the time is right:-)
