So they would starve, jobless, because the work wouldn't pay a subsistence wage? This seems unlikely, as many people work at jobs where they don't earn enough to support their lifestyle. I think the below-subsistence wage earner would be more likely to (though not certainly) move somewhere that their skills were more needed.
