Unconditional seems extreme to me. If you get money/free stuff from the gov't, perhaps the gov't should require something in return, though not a job in the strict sense. I.e., it wouldn't require 40h per week. Perhaps it's 1 day per week, 1-2h per day, or something even more flexible, but it's not so much that it would prevent you from improving your situation by other means. Even if it's "picking up trash around your neighborhood", you'd be helping make things better.
