Editorial: In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance  To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply  However, the supplement will not raise any worker' s income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed
Ttherefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement
The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.
