How can you say that the fact that wages are lower than the alternative is the problem, and in the same paragraph say that low wages are an unrelated problem. Low wages are literally _the_ problem. If you paid people more, they would leave unemployment and take the pay. In my experience it's a small subset that refuses to work at all costs. I know people who want to work but just can't find jobs that ate _worth it_. A job needs to be worth it or we create a dystopia of essentially mass capitalistic incarceration. By your own statement, if they raise the wage, people will go back to work. This "solution" is just kicking the legs out from under people who are just barely able to stand as it is.
