unemployment inspection service


Explanation:
No Googles, but then the French gets a single ghit in the singular and a single ghit in the plural ...

You know, like the people who check up on you when you're on sick leave, to make sure you are genuinely sick and genuinely trying to get better by staying at home instead of spending your time and money down the boozer or working for a mate wot's a builder.

In the case of unemployment, I can imagine all kinds of fiddles, with officially unemployed drivers actually driving as "mate" or second driver to increase the time the vehicle can be driven etc. More context would help pin it down.

neutral  philgoddard: I don't think "control" is appropriate here - it's a false friend. It means monitoring. You can't control unemployment!
