Not sure why you're being downvoted without explanations, a good job (key word, good) can bring a lot to a person's self worth and sense of purpose. You have an interesting idea here - for someone that can't find work, it could be the opportunity to do something that would build their abilities and might help get their lives in order. A guaranteed income is a pleasant idea, but gives people neither skills, nor discipline, and lessens modern incentives (nicer stuff, more options) to build either.
