Unless you're desperate to feed and house your family and anything that shortens your search by a day might keep a roof over your head?

I think the point is that the banner is more likely to extend your search by sending a negative signal than it is to speed up your search. Fair or not, potential employers often have a negative bias toward people who are unemployed, so indicating that you’re likely unemployed is unhelpful.
