Because Amazon is not (yet) the sole employer in our nation ?
in a lot of places it's starbucks, subway, walmart, amazon, or piecemeal construction work, and if those jobs are filled then you're SOL killer.
You could theoretically take a pay cut and work at a shop or something if you managed to figure out how to live without money.
Back when Dutch government was pretty much the only job agency companies offering such "opportunities" would be scrubbed from the list. If they send people there they just come back looking for work again. Not something the institution was willing to spend resources on.
I imagine one could explore something like a credit score with taxes that reflect what great employer you are. A piss bottle tax could bring in hundreds of millions in tax revenue. Perhaps it should be applied as a percentage CEO wealth, income and land tax. Or call it the asshole tax.
