[求助]GWD-TN-24- Q10

Q10:TTGWD11-Q30:

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.

试着解释下：

题干说，失业的人们没有找工作的经济动力。

要削弱它，就要证明失业的人有找工作的经济诱因的。

C.有工作的人想跳槽，并倾向于工资要高于现在工作的，与失业的人相比。

如果失业的人接受了低薪的工作，那他下次跳槽时，不就可以要求更高的工资了吗？这样失业的人，想要获得更好的工资的前提，就是先接受一份工作（虽然工资可能比政府补贴的还少）。

这算不算一个经济上的诱因呢？

可以理解你说的
