GWD25-Q2.
In two months, the legal minimum wage in the country
of Kirlandia will increase
from five Kirlandic dollars(KD5.00) Per hour to KD5.50
per hour. Opponents of
this increase have argued that the resulting rise in
wages will drive the inflation
rate up. In fact its impact on wages will probably be
negligible, since only a
very small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are
currently receiving less than
KD5.50 per hour.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously
weakens the argument?
A. Most people in kirlandia who are currently earning
the minimum wage have
been employed
at their current jobs for less than a year.
B. Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers
considerably less than KD5.00
per hour, in
violation of kirlandic employment regulations.
C. Many businesses hire trainees at or near the
minimum wage but must
reward trained
workers by keeping their paylevels above the pay level
of trainees.
D. The greatest growth in Kirlandia’s economy in
recent years has been in
those sectors
where workers earn wages that tend to be much higher
than the
minimum wage.
E The current minimum wage is insufficient for a
worker holding only one job
to earn enough to support a family ,even
when working full time at that job.
could sb. tell me exactly ???
and why?
average wage increase----inflation
few people will be affected by this increase----no inflation.
C, many people actually will be affected----inflation
B, still few people will be affected. they have little impact on economy.
选C。很少有人的工资在5.5以下，所以作者认为把最低工资提高到5.5影响会很小。但是如果TRAINEE的工资为最低工资，正式员工的工资要高于TRAINEE的工资，那么如果最低工资提高，TRAINEE的工资提高到5.5，很多员工的工资要相应增加才能保证他们的PAY LEVEL高于TRAINEE的。所以提高最低工资会间接影响很多人的工资的。
