Deal, United Kingdom
Living in Deal means navigating a bureaucratic workfare program. The New Deal, introduced in 1998, doled out £1.3 billion in 2001 to provide training and subsidized employment to the unemployed. But this 'Flexible New Deal' has since been criticized as failing to equip participants for actual work. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with participants required to choose from a list of mandatory options to continue receiving benefits. Overall, Deal may appeal to those seeking a compulsory workfare scheme, but it's not for the faint of heart.
