These welfare abusers have great opportunities to get free job training while on publis assitance but refuse.

If we follow through on the point I'm making right above this then we will most likely find that teaching someone to fish is going to take more than paying them $8 dollars an hour. (It's pretty obvious already that 5.25 [or 6.50 as the case in Oregon] isn't going to enable people to provide for themselves or their families--then we'd have to start the figures at a high of ~$960 (before taxes!); and this isn't even taking into account that 40 hour work weeks are increasingly harder to find in the low wage market since full-time employees are entitled to benefits).
Most of us don't know that though, non-hourly wage earners are worked upwards of 50+ hours per week.
