Are there decent paying jobs available for those people that you're talking about? Or is it like here in the U. S. where so many of the jobs that are available are part time minimum wage jobs that won't even pay the rent?

It's the same and that is a huge part of the problem, they get paid more through benefits than they can earn through working (especially if they have been out of work for a long time or have a lack of skills), therefore there is no incentive for them to go and work.
The minimum wage has been rising in the UK but so has inflation which cancels it out.
