You are actually worse off because of the increased costs of going out to work, and having to work next to someone who is actually being paid for the job causes a lot of anger and resentment.<br /><br />If workfare is meant to somehow be an approximation of having a job it's not very effective. Most of the things that you'd expect from a job are missing; a wage, camaraderie, a future to work towards, a sense of community and social inclusion, a positive self-identity..and justice.Leehttp://peakwalking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
