Why the economy is in trouble.

A haulage boss was left stunned after an unemployed driver rejected the offer of a job paying more than £500 ($750) a week so he could remain on benefits.

Graham Poole, the managing director of a 23-wagon fleet in Rochdale, offered the job to the man who had been out of work for 18 months, only to be told told it was not enough to have him come off government handouts.

The man turned the job down claiming he could get more money on benefits by 'sitting around at home'.
