You could fit snow ploughs on their wheelchairs so they could clear the footpaths in winter

Or possibly you *can* read but don't understand the words and figures.
I can indeed read, and the statistics show why its even more important to be prepared to make some sacrifices to move to somewhere that you can find a job.
You obviously didn't understand that for every job available there are over 5 people wanting it. Would you like to explain to the other 4+ what they could do?
An example: Even during the 'boom' years our local supermarkets had no trouble in recruiting shelf stackers on minimum wage. And this is in a prosperous area. I doubt anyone from outside the area would have any chance of getting such a job now. Someone from up north is also unlikely to be able to relocate here since the cost of living is much higher.
Yes, and the idea of people from other countries coming here to do such jobs is even more ridiculous. The idea that anyone would travel half way across Europe to take a low paid job in the UK is just plain silly, for the same reasons. Isn't it.
