感觉阅读不太好问，还是来问问吧

“Increasing affluence, the rise of families with more than one wage earner, the growing predominance of secondary earners among the unemployed, and improved social welfare protection have unquestionably mitigated the consequences of joblessness. Earnings and income data also overstate the dimensions of hardship. Among the millions with hourly earnings at or below the minimum wage level, the overwhelming majority are from multiple-earner, relatively affluent families. ” 这是我摘自原文的段落，

题如下：

According to the passage, one factor that causes unemployment and earnings figures to overpredict the amount of economic hardship is the

(B) possibility that earnings may be received from more than one job per worker

(E) prevalence, among low-wage workers and the unemployed, of members of families in which others are employed

我觉得B选项也是对的。源自文中“growing predominance of secondary earners ” 以及“multiple-earner”我的理解有问题吗？

我想：“the growing predominance of secondary earners among the unemployed”这一分句的意思是：在失业的(家庭)之中，非主要的那些挣钱人正越来越重要。

multiple-earner指多个挣钱人。

待议，供参考。

同意楼上解释

xdf说secondary earners 是赚外块的人

呵呵，不管是什么，反正这题我错了……
