No job? Accept a temporary one

The state run employment and benefit office is to work with staffing agencies to help the unemployed find temporary jobs, a spokesman for the UWV confirmed on Thursday.


Trials in Den Bosch have proved so successful that the UWV has decided the jobless must accept any reasonable offer of a temporary job offered through the agencies.
Temps agencies have long campaigned for a greater role in getting the unemployed back to work.
Earlier this year, the UWV said it was to get tough on people who refuse to accept work just because it is low-skilled.
