Millions of people are employed doing what you describe as "Menial" jobs. These people are at least off their backs & trying to earn a crust. They are at least, paying their way.

If your "Skilled", unemployed person refuses to work, because its a "Menials" job, then he or she deserve absolutely nothing.

When your in a boat, adrift, its all hands to the pumps m8, those who don't want to work get thrown overboard. There are too many people who think they are a cut above the rest & wont work. It makes no difference what you were, it only makes a difference, what you are.

thats rubbish and i suspect you know it is ,people who are highly trained (alot of the time at their own expense)WILL feel humiliated at being suddenly unemployed through no fault of their own and making these people work for £1.27p/h is disgusting ,making anybody work for that is disgusting
The private companies that will be managing this scheme must be rubbing their hands in glee at the thought of all this free labour becoming available.The likes of Asda/tesco or any of these types of employers with high staff turnover are likely to bid for this scheme because when some one leaves to go back to colledge or uni they won't have to replace them via the jobcenter they will just recruit from the unemployed .

you should not class all unemployed people as layabouts ,i was unemployed for 4 months from nov 09 -feb 10 i refused to sign on untill late january and when i did i was horrified at the attitude i got from some of the staff ,they seemed to think that a highly trained tradesman like me can just walk into a job anywhere and shouldn't be signing on ,i was glad to sign off a week later ,the most humiliating experience of my life
