No, actually I have been told by multiple jobless folks over the years that
they don't want those jobs.  There was one that hung around in FIDO
POLITICS (and maybe still does) that likes to complain about illegals taking
jobs, but also about how his government assistance isn't enough.  When I
pointed out that they were hiring fruit pickers in the SE US to replace the
ones that were deported, and suggested he could get a job like that, he
didn't like that suggestion.  He seemed offended that I would suggest it.

While he didn't come right out and say it, several will indicate that the
type of labor in question is "below" them and that they, an unemployed
person (who, if they have a degree it is in something that is never in
demand), deserve better.

If I have been "brainwashed" to believe that, it is by many mostly-white,
mostly-male people who don't want to work... and, for at least the younger
ones, enjoy living with their parents... not by whoever you think did it.
