Now you're asking something else than what was originally asked.
They might say good things about their job because of the incentives to be positive and fear or losing the job. That's one argument that can be made, which I think is probably at least somewhat true: they might not like their job, but they won't admit it.
What you're saying now is something else (if I understood correctly) - you're saying they only think good things about their job, because they can't get another job. That's a totally different thing! That argument is: they like their job, but for specific reasons. An argument I find a lot less compelling (because it's always true!).
