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.
题干里面提到了3种钱:assistance,income,supplement,不要把第一种和第三种搞混了
失业人员:每月有政府的补助X。
失业人员如果接受一个比X还少工资的工作:政府会补差价,补到这些人也拿到X。政府的目的在于鼓励公司用便宜的价格雇佣他们,减少失业率。
但是失业人员会这样想,不工作得到的也是X,工作得到的也是X,还不如不接受这种工作的好。
但是如果失业人员工作后再去找新的工作,得到的工资就会超过X,而不工作后直接去找新工作不会得到这么高的工资。那么接受这个工作还是很划算的因为以后就会有更高的收入了。所以失业人员最好还是接受这种工作。
