@hanswolters If unemployment is low there may not be a problem that needs solving, it depends.

If the unemployment is 1% of the population and its just the people left who are lazy and just refuse to work, then there is no problem, thats the life style they pick. Now if you are talking about a situation where unemployment is low and includes some hard workers who just cant find work, then yes there is a problem.

This latter case however represents the situation where the average voter is not knowledgeable enough to vote for their best interest. Getting hard workers into the workforce improves GDP and ultimately improves the income of all the existing workers as well. So if they are not voting with that in mind they are doing a poor job at exercising their vote.
