dole queue
Benefits waiting line
A dole queue is a British term for a line of people waiting to collect unemployment benefits.
The phrase often appears figuratively to represent unemployment itself: Thousands joined the dole queue when the factory closed.
The image evokes economic hardship and the indignity of waiting for government assistance.
