The Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) released a statement condemning the Treasurer's remarks.
"Not everyone has the luxury of simply switching to a better-paying job," the statement reads.
"The reality is there are nearly 800,000 people who can't get a job right now, with five people competing for every available job vacancy.
"Job opportunities are not opening up at the rate needed, and wages growth is almost flat.
"Young people and those on low incomes are being locked out of home ownership and the private rental market remains an expensive and insecure place to be."
