Labour's suggested the Government's out of touch with the challenges beneficiaries face trying to lock down a job.
Social Development Minister Louise Upston wants to slash the number of people on Jobseeker to 140 thousand by 2030.
But Labour says we're on track to miss this target by more than 60 thousand people.
Social Development spokesperson Willow-Jean Prime is criticising the measures the Government's put in place - telling Andrew Dickens they're punitive.
She says there are so many people looking for work, but the Government hasn't created the conditions for more work.
