[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 5594790, member: 3169"] I am firing from hip now without giving much thought but it is not the benefit system per se affecting 'casual labour' The key point being the term 'casual labour - ie labour that is just 'hanging about' most of these folk now have full time jobs - albeit many may be working the system as you may call it with 16 hour weeks to then access the benefit top ups. And this they are working in care homes, supermarkets etc - the service sector. The labour market is different to 30 /40 years ago when there were thousands of more farmers - take potatoes and look at the number of producers. [/QUOTE]
