Unemployment is at 3.8%, which is pretty good as most economist say < 5% is the bar for a healthy economy. So I would say it’s not that people are lazy, it’s that new industries that provide more economic opportunities appear.
Also, short of economic depression, I’m not sure how you convince lazy people to not be lazy.

The USSR’s solution was forced work.
Unemployment is a fickle number. If somebody is not looking for work, they don’t count.
I always joke with my GF when we pay to pick vegetables. We are paying to do work that people won’t do to get paid.
Yup. The irony of paying to pick apples is not lost on me. But to your point, if someone’s not looking for work, they don’t get government assistance (barring a disability) and probably don’t need to work the jobs thes migrants are going to fill.
There are many parents complaining their kids can’t find jobs. The jobs are there. They just don’t want to do the work.
We have evolved into an entitled society who won’t work hard anymore.
It’s why we have a shortage. Everyone thinks they’re entitled to a high paying job with no experience.
