Since 40 hours per week at minimum wage is more than unemployment pays, yeah, they should take that job. However, since it's not a LOT more than unemployment pays, most of those people will choose to sit on their ass and do nothing except collect a check. Or they'll collect the check and do side work for cash that they choose to not report as income and not pay taxes on.
