Should I encourage adult son to find a job

What does he do with his time on a daily basis? Anything that contributes to the household or other family members? Do you have any concerns about depression or other mental health issues?

We are a mulit-generational household. My dad is 91, my husband and I are in our 60s, he had COPD and I have sciatica. My son does the heavier household chores like vaccuuming and moping. He doesn’t drive. He has a license, but driving produces high anxiety so it’s safer that he doesn’t, which means most technical careers are not available to him. We live in a small town - about 40,000 people with no public transport, so the things that are open to him are mostly Walmart - which he tried but was over stimulating - and fast food, since he doesn’t want senior housing dishwashing again.
He hates interviewing, which I understand. I will continue to encourage him to find a job.
Thanks for your reply.
