In two months, the legal minimum wage in the country of Kirlandia will increase from five Kirlandic dollars(KD5.00) Per hour to KD5.50 per hour. Opponents of this increase have argued that the resulting rise in wages will drive the inflation rate up. In fact its impact on wages will probably be negligible, since only a very small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are currently receiving less than KD5.50 per hour.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
Most people in kirlandia who are currently earning the minimum wage have been employed at their current jobs for less than a year.
Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00 per hour, in violation of kirlandic employment regulations.
Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wage but must reward trained workers by keeping their paylevels above the pay level of trainees.
The greatest growth in Kirlandia's economy in recent years has been in those sectors where workers earn wages that tend to be much higher than the minimum wage.
The current minimum wage is insufficient for a worker holding only one job to earn enough to support a family ,even when working full time at that job.
Kirlandia的最低工资即将从时薪5KD涨到时薪5.5KD,反对者认为会带来通货膨胀。但实际上目前工资在5.5KD以下的工人很少,调整最低工资带来的影响可以忽略不计。问weaken
choice c, 许多公司会以最低工资左右的薪水雇佣实习生。但是公司必须回馈受训过的工人,让他们的工资高于实习生工资。correct,实习生一旦涨薪,培训后的工人的薪水也跟着涨
也就是说涨薪这件事除了影响小部分低于5.5KD时薪的工人之外,还有包括了实习生,还有受过培训的工人们
这也太绕了!!!!!!。。。 weaken a small proportion
