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?
The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.
Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.
People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.
The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.
People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.
没读懂 关健在于选择有supplement的工作还是选择政府补助-结论说这些人选政府补助,没经济刺激选工作
政府为了促进就业,给就业的人提供补助,但是这些人的收入小于政府提供的失业补助----》所以失业的人没有经济激励去接受这些提供补助的工作。注意题目问的是削弱!!
错选A 政府对于失业补助金不征税,注意是对失业的人,这样人们确实没有经济激励去找工作,加强结论。
B 其他国家,这些国家制定了最低工资水平,比L有更高的失业率。其他国家、最低工资水平都与原文无关。
C 有工作并且还在找新工作的人找到的工作 比那些失业的在找工作的人找到的工作 薪水更高。先接受一个工作,之后便可以去找新工作,这样工资就更高,所以失业者是有经济激励的,削弱了原结论,correct。
D 失业者每年获得的政府补助低于贫困线。那又如何,接受有补助的工作获得的工资比失业补助更低,更没有经济激励了。
E 人们有时接受一项工作是因为他们喜欢。与经济激励无关。
