The Unemployment Test (1978)
Directed by Jackie Shearer
Documentary · 14m
The Unemployment Test is presented as a quiz to judge the audience’s knowledge about the welfare system, albeit one backed by a funky disco synth soundtrack. The viewers of the film take the test alongside people in a classroom who are evenly split between those who have benefited from unemployment insurance and others who have not. Short dramatized scenes with non-professional actors play out in two phases. Each skit ends with a question by the narrator. The audience’s an- swers are scored at the end of each phase.
