A refinement of your policy is to just deregulate the labor market so it can actually be good at providing “reasonable jobs”; then have the government office keep a regularly-updated survey of “reasonable job” wage rates, and if the wage rate is too low to be “reasonable”, give everyone who asks a check to make up the difference. If it turns out that there are no “reasonable jobs” at all then that wage rate is zero, so everyone who qualifies just gets the full welfare check. This system (a simple version of BI) avoids subsidizing these sorts of jobs, by just giving people that money instead.
