标题: OG11 127 [打印本页] 作者: xingxc11 时间: 2011-9-20 11:55 标题: OG11 127 Small-business groups are lobbying to defeat proposed federal legislation that would substantially raise the federal minimum wage. This opposition is surprising since the legislation they oppose would, for the first time, exempt all small businesses from paying any minimum wage.
Which of the following, if true, would best explain the opposition of small-business groups to the proposed legislation?
(A) Under the current federal minimum-wage law, most small businesses are required to pay no less than the minimum wage to their employees. (B) In order to attract workers, small companies must match the wages offered by their larger competitors, and these competitors would not be exempt under the proposed laws. (C) The exact number of companies that are currently required to pay no less than the minimum wage but that would be exempt under the proposed laws is unknown. (D) Some states have set their own minimum wages---in some cases, quite a bit above the level of the minimum wage mandated by current federal law---for certain key industries. (E) Service companies make up the majority of small businesses and they generally employ more employees per dollar of revenues than do retail or manufacturing businesses. 此题选B，完全没有思路。向大牛请教啊！！！！！作者: juniya2012 时间: 2011-9-20 15:55
我的想法是... 明明最新的联邦法已经说了小公司的工资额度不受限制,但是小公司却还反对... 中间明显有一个minimum wage和小公司之间的gap...要找连接... A选项 现在的联邦法有这个规定没意义啊,最新的联邦法已经说了小公司不需要遵循... B选项 因为大公司是受法律约束,必须支付高于最低工资的工资额,而小公司要和大公司竞争,吸引员工,那么他们支付的工资就不能低于大公司,从而也就是说不得低于法律规定的最低工资额...这样就找到二者的联系..
C选项 实际数量无意义 D选项 some states和key industry都是个别现象...无关 E选项 明显的无关比较啊
