Think of me as you wish, but I work for a living and don't have time for that. I'm not trying to sound harsh, but let them call the people that are unemployeed and living on unemployment assistance. After all, we're giving them money, let them earn it.
I don't mean to offend anyone that's unemployeed, I've been there myself and wish that on no one. My point is that they have the time and there are plenty of folks to pool from (and they're being paid anyway).

If you were to put on trial for something you didn't do (lets say wrong place at the wrong time and thus wrongfully accused), would you rather have employed jurors (with a stereotype of them being educated and hard working e.g. your peers) or unemployed jurors (stereotype being they are lazy and generally less-educated) deciding your fate? Just wondering
p.s. I know a LOT of unemployed people and while a few honestly want a job, most of them are content doing NOTHING but collecting that check from Uncle Sam. So maybe thats why I have a stereotype in my head of the average unemployed person. No insult intended to those who actually WANT a job but just can't find one or are down on their luck.
