612. In Stenland, many workers have beencomplaining that they cannot survive on minimum wage, the lowest wage an employeris permitted to pay. The government is proposing to raise the minimum wage.Many employers who pay their workers the current minimum wage argue that if itis raised, unemployment will increase because they will no longer be able toafford to employ as many workers.

Which of the following, if true in Stenland, moststrongly supports the claim that raising the minimum wage there will not havethe effects that the employers predict?

(A) For any position with wages below a livingwage, the difficulty of finding and retaining employees

adds as much to employment costs as would raisingwages.

(B) Raising the minimum wage does not alsoincrease the amount employers have to contribute in employee benefits.

(C) When inflation is taken into account, the proposednew minimum wage is not as high as the current one was when it was introduced.

(D) Many employees currently being paid wages atthe level of the proposed new minimum wage will

demand significant wage increases.

(E) Many employers who pay some workers only theminimum wage also pay other workers wages

that are much higher than the minimum.

我的思路是，雇主们反对上调最低工资，因为这样会使他们裁员，失业率会上升。

C选项说，考虑通胀因素，上调的最低工资实际并不比之前高。这不就反驳了雇主所说支付不起工资而裁员的说法吗？

请诸位多多指教！谢谢啦！
