Two of these are government-created problems, if the government would like to solve them, they can rewrite the rules

> since they are at job center, the job cannot be refused unless for special reasons

> pay them the bare minimum, almost lower than the unemployment fund after taxes

This one is illegal, with enough proof it should be easy to fix in courts

> have them work extra-hours without compensation

And two of these seem to be neutral on society

> offer a job to people at the job center (quite nice)

> let them go, re-hire from the endless pool at job center

Since when? Do you live in Germany?

Do you remember the issues a few years ago with Hartz-IV and recruiting people for "Spargelstechen", as Hartz-IV was better than the salary being offered?
