    I currently live in Australia where with a 2 year trade cert your minimum wage goes up from $16 to $28, and I receive a fortnightly payment from the government that has just gone up to $917 with rent assistance while I’m looking for work, my only obligations are regular meetings with an employment services provider and recorded proof that I’m applying for 20 appropriate jobs a month. For comparison a full time job here can be expected to pay a minimum of about 52k a year.

    While unemployed I also receive concession on public health services, discounts for pharmaceuticals, and various other social services.

    Once I start work I can continue claiming payments up to the value of $1000 to assist with transitional costs, as well as being provided a stipend for new uniforms or equipment costs.

    They have an American bias because they are American therefore they could be more specific about the American centric piece of information. Your lack of literacy doesn’t change the definition of the word bias.
