>There's jobs for people who work hard.

So let's think this tautology through. It's difficult to get a job -> person is not able to get employment -> person becomes unemployed -> only lazy people are unemployed -> lazy people don't want jobs -> therefore everyone is employed

It's an empty statement because as long as anyone is employed, there will still be "enough jobs for people who work hard." It doesn't matter if there's 99.999% unemployment, since working hard by your definition is circularly referenced to already having a job. The word for that is a tautology.
