Editorial:In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance.To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply.However, the supplement will not raise any worker’s income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed.Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.
Which of the following, if true about Ledland, most seriously weakens the argument of the editorial?
A.The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.
B.Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.
C.People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.
D.The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.
E.People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work. 答案是C 我选的是A，不知道为什么? 请大家帮忙一下，谢谢。 作者: meckychen 时间: 2010-7-16 11:31

网上搜到的答案是这么解释的： C的意思是说有工作，准备跳槽的人比失业在家的求职者找的工作薪水高，这本身就是一个financial incentive，那么大家就会先找一个工作，再去跳槽，这就有了FI了作者: hnluluowen 时间: 2010-8-10 03:41
A不是削弱了，而是加强了~！
