How about the job centre not being so shit and actually help rather than hinder people getting jobs? If these people had full time jobs they wouldn't be in poverty.

    This is a UK community, the article lists poverty at £14k, minimum wage here for full time work is about £25k. In the UK you cannot be in poverty and full time work. Minimum wage here is one of the best on the planet.

    And how many "minimum wage" jobs nowadays are actually full time?

    Most of them that I see advertised are pro-rata advertised. Under houred or zero contract. But of course if you take two jobs you'll eventually end up with rota clashes and lose one of those jobs. So good luck there.
