And if people do not need to seek employment as much to survive, a lot of people do not realize the state subsidizes huge swathes of employment disciplines (obviously educational, medical, scientific, etc - but they also use tax code and tax deductions and exceptions to influence the transportation, service, agricultural, and resource extraction industries hugely, among many others - almost all of them) with the intent to either control markets or artificially prop up slow and inefficient protocols to get people jobs. That is what almost every "jobs" bill has ended up being for fifty years - creating artificial circumstance necessitating workers where naturally there would not be any. Truly, we do not know exactly how much we could save by implementing a UBI, and then realizing we can dismantle the tax hell at all levels to account for the economic freedom it provides. Suddenly price fixing corn syrup to make cheap junk food to fit on food stamps matters less when you can peg individual base income to the entire economies prosperity - ie, the redirected effort keeping coin syrup cheap could be put to whatever naturally more productive use the economy would normally move it towards, and the growth benefits just boost the UBI.
