Full employment
Full employment means that anyone who wants work will find it in a short time frame - say one week.
We have the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) here. Their job is to help people find work. If anyone not able to find a job on their own goes to the VEC they should get a job quickly. If none are available, then the person would be given a job doing non-essential work such as entering data into a computer data base for historical material not already available for online access or doing recycling of material not normally recycled or some other useful but non-essential activity.
The idea about providing full employment, is to always have something productive to use labor for when market demand is not providing full employment. We should not pay people to do nothing (at least not in the long term). Therefore, rather than pay welfare, we should pay people who cannot find employment to do something which is socially useful.
