There already is a work requirement for food stamps. Over a three year period, you can be out of work and receive SNAP benefits for only 3 months. Otherwise, you have to be working at least 20 hours a week.

As for unemployment rates, an important category that's not counted are dejected workers -- people who want to be working but have given up.
