I've never seen this to be the case that finding a low skill job is hard. In my area tons of people refuse to work but all kinds of places are constantly hiring like restaurants, etc. Many may require passing a drug screen though which it seems most people aren't able to do.
If you think a restaurant is a low-skill job, you're wrong. It takes an assload of memorization, dealing with highly specialized systems, and its hell on the body as well. You have an incredibly high expected output, and you're not given much guidance either. The pay isn't worth the effort in the least, because its seen as "low-skill" or similar.
In my pricey metro area, there are many such "low-skill" jobs advertised in restaurant windows. (Side note: can we use another qualifier? Restaurant jobs in fact require quite a bit of skill - social awareness, customer service, observational, strategic time management, etc. Maybe it's not programming, but it's not really data entry either.) These jobs, even while paying $15 an hour, remain unfilled because there's nowhere within a 2 hour commute that an adult can rent a room and have money left over for food & life on that wage.
