As GP was saying, employment doesn't help with homelessness or addiction; income and sense of purpose do. Employment does help with unemployment, but that's kind of begging the question.

I completely disagree.

Going daily to a workplace, helping out as part of a team and being useful are essential to becoming a productive member of society.

This is hard for us college educated middle class people to grasp, but many people have grown up without knowing anyone with a regular job and need to get eased into the basics.
