People on Jobseeker are now required to attend the Ministry of Social Development's 'work check in' seminars.

Former WINZ boss Christine Rankin told Mike Hosking that there's a huge need for the entry-level jobs in question.

She says it's a Jobseeker's responsibility to find a job that pays more than a benefit, which Rankin says isn't hard to do.
