IMO Joblessness/Welfare (with few exceptions) "in general" is not because people do not want to work but that work capable of supporting life is not universally available and soon develops a certain number of "sloths".
Maybe we need another WPA project in our siociety. However since that would interfere with profit making efforts it would probably be voted down through those who have the legislators in their pocket.
