I don't disagree that people should be encouraged to work instead of sitting around indefinitely, however it does introduce other problems... why would an employer hire me if they know I'm not interested in working there long term?
Why spend the time/money/resources training me if they know I'm actively looking/interested in a better job and I'd jump ship at the first opportunity?
At the end of the day "there are no bad jobs" was most likely a poor choice of words, something like "there's more pride in working than collecting EI" might have gone further. But the statement he made just comes across as out of touch.
