Labour's "youth guarantee" forced people into unchosen jobs at minimum wage while companies got subsidised labour.

A universal Job Guarantee is fundamentally different. Here's how.

"Every single country could afford this type of program."

Daniel Kostzer explains why a Job Guarantee is counter-cyclical: it shrinks when the economy grows and expands when needed most.

@peterstefanovic.bsky.social - if you care about the poor, then take the time to understand how money is created and destroyed - not by wealthy corporations and individuals - but by the govt. The UK issues its own currency. It costs nothing. If we can do it, the govt can afford it.
