It's evil to require ne'er-do-wells to work for money?

You have a pretty low standard for evil.

No, it's evil to create make-work full stop.

That's reasonable. Evil is still a strong word though.

Your assuming they are "ne'er do wells", they might just be someone down on their luck. Making them do a book report is simply busy work and doesn't contribute to actually finding a job.

Making them serve 40 hours community service as has been suggested earlier in the thread makes them work, but once again doesn't solve their lack of a job and hinders their job search.

I'd rather they be required to report to a job placement service. If after a set period of time they can't secure a job they should be required to work for a temp agency at least part time.

Instead of mercilessly flogging the unemployed let's help them get a job.
