Whether people will accept work depends on their need. If they're happy with handouts, and they are enough to keep them in booze and fags, they'll continue to sit on their fat arses and not bother to work.
As long as benefits are sufficiently generous, there will always be those lazy buggers who will refuse work.

The simple thing is, if no work is offered at the Job Centre you are entitled to receive the Dole. If work is offered, you take it whether you like it or not. There's always the possibility of applying for other jobs at the same time, or even a chance of promotion.
That's how it was in my dad's day, anyway. You took what you could.
