Simple - they weren't really looking for a job in the first place.
My older brother lost his job and went on unemployment. His (common law) wife has a full time job and makes enough to support the two of them if they cut back a little. Although my brother is pushing age fifty, the truth is he really has only had one job his entire life and only recently; He isn't qualified to do anything more than entry level work. At that point, why bother with working if you don't have to?
