Default British Workers Wanted - Channel 4

What is JSA now £60 or £70 a week perhaps, for a single person? Let's
say it is £75 for arguments sake and let's say a job is 40 hours a week
- that means on benefits (but of course you can stay in bed) you are
getting the equivalent of £1.87 an hour.

How therefore is £7.50 not "enough"? Enough for what?


Because the vast majority of these jobs do not offer 40 hours a week.
Far more likely to be 16 or 20.
