MrsJoseph, as I mentioned earlier, people (whether qualified or not) are free to bid for jobs on various Web sites and such. There's nothing stopping people from offering their services for next to nothing. The question is whether even indie authors value their services enough to pay, and whether jobless people would be willing to work for what an indie author could offer.
Obviously there are plenty of unemployed people. Their need does not mean that indie authors will rush to hire them. There's nothing stopping you or anyone else who supports the business model you propose from starting a business. All you have to do is persuade indies to pay and jobless to apply.
