Jobless to get incentives to move in order to find work - UK Politics, UK - The Independent
I think this is a good idea although not practical for every circumstance.
I have in my working life had to move all around the UK to get jobs that fits my skills, I wouldn't/couldn't just wait around for a job to appear in where ever I was living (In the north east in particular, but I'd image anywhere that isn't London/South East this is true).
If your fit and single I don't see how this as anything but an incentive to work, a leg up even which might be difficult or even impossible otherwise.
The situation gets complicated if you have a family and kids in schools, but some might jump at the chance to have a fresh start somewhere else.
Does anyone see it as derisory or an invasion of 'rights' or some of the other negative connotations some of the press seem to be presenting this as?
