The story of people without jobs told by James Burke

Every neighbourhood has its share of unemployed workers. What is life like for them in Britain today? Does the system that provides unemployment benefits, social security money, and special financial grants encourage soft living? Is it worth even trying to find another job when you and your family can live off the State? This film is an intimate study of the lives and attitudes of unemployed workers. What do they secretly feel about being without jobs? Just how much does it really affect their lives? See this special report and judge for yourself.
(3: How to be Unemployed with Dignity, Friday at 9.20 pm)
