Also reading through this part bothered me since it's pretty much completely wrong. Unemployment numbers have nothing to do with freeloading. Those numbers reflect people that are actively searching for jobs but cannot find them, not just a simple number of people unemployed divided by the population. If someone was freeloading, they simply would not be searching for a job, and thus not included in the unemployment numbers at all.
