An article from ABC News with some information and figures on the 'job snob' myth
"Our research on the complex reasons that might prevent job-seekers from seizing every job opportunity points to the dangers of making punitive generalisations such as: "There are jobs out there for those who want them."
Such rhetoric glosses over the lived realities of being unemployed. It ignores the conditions of individuals' lives. It obscures the structural realities of competitive labour markets. It shifts responsibility for unemployment to the individual.
A richer understanding of the realities of unemployment and poverty, as well as a broader conception of wellbeing, is needed to solve the problem."
