Unemployment can be a soul-destroying black hole.
The Long-term unemployed can loose self-esteem and, even though they may once have been enthusiastic workers, they can become addicted to idleness..
Many families are multi-generational unemployed and children growing up in that environment often acquire a contempt for a 40 hour week.
We believe the Nation needs ALL its citizens to be involved in the recovery effort.
Every able-bodied unemployed person needs to be engaged in productive enterprise 20 to 40 hours a week.
Even the 50-60 year olds can be commissioned as mentors and foremen. The handicapped and those totally unskilled can be very productive in Primary production and Horticulture.
Restore Local Manufacturing..
Over the last 30 years, we have lost millions of jobs in the Textile, Garment and Auto industries. The mantra that they could all be retrained in more relevant industries was a fiction. Most of these folk never held a fulfilling full-time job again.
A huge proportion of our people are not 'cut-out' for the Technology industries.. They are suited to the fundamental tasks of life. They are suited to the same things people have enjoyed for the last million years - Small Industry, Farming, Gardening, Garments, Woodwork, Foundry, Arts etc. Allowing other countries to take 90% of the only jobs these folk are suited to is a greed driven travesty.
We will oversee the recommissioning of thousands of idle factories.

In-home support of the elderly..
The Home Horticultural project..
This project will provide a huge number of jobs (for the unemployed) and assist the elderly to remain in their own homes for many more years.
This project aims to encourage and maintain millions of home veggie gardens. These 'high tech' gardens and their maintenance/collection teams will provide 100,000 jobs, millions of tons of home delivered organic food and great social activities for the handicapped and the shut-ins.
