For those unaware, social benefits in Denmark can be as high as 2000€ per month, depending on the circumstances. It's simply not viable to pay employees less, as they'd have no reason to come to work.

The lowest tier is kontanthjælp (cash assistance), and it is way less than what is referred to as unemployment benefits.
The rules about these changes constantly as it is hot political topic, but I do believe you can keep kontanthjælp forever, given that you don’t hold too much cash/valuables and that you don’t actively say no to employment.
They'll give you some flexibility, so you might not have to accept the first job.
If you're not a member or two years are up options are: join and work to regain coverage, work for something around a year or so -- lots of special cases.
Or get unemployment benefits from government. Much less ~1400 USD, requires lots of activities like hunting for jobs, and not have assets exceeding ~10k USD.
