I'm not sure what it is.

These friends that haven't been working for a year... what exactly are they doing all day?
Well not all have been out of work for a year, only 1 of them I think, though most were laid off well before Xmas. Some of them play comp games, some are trying to find work, though none are prepared to actually take work that might cause a little discomfort, or might not be as socially acceptable as what they were doing.

When I see videos in many other countries like India, China etc where hundreds will queue outside a factory every day hoping for a few hours work ... the contrast between their work ethic and ours is staggering. Some of us don't realise how good we have it.
