The ones that like having that guaranteed base to back up what they can hustle on the street or make under the table.

Could it be that entry-level jobs don't give enough of an improved quality of life, over welfare subsustence, to make it worth getting a job? I've read where people get a job, and have a lower standard of living than when they were on welfare. When employed, they have to pay for health insurance, childcare, transportation, maybe better clothing, etc.
Yes, that's exactly the problem. Damn little incentive to risk giving it up.
