Small-business groups are lobbying to defeat proposed federal legislation that would substantially raise the federal minimum wage. This opposition is surprising since the legislation they oppose would, for the first time, exempt all small businesses from paying any minimum wage.
Which of the following, if true, would best explain the opposition of small-business groups to the proposed legislation?
(A) Under the current federal minimum-wage law, most small businesses are required to pay no less than the minimum wage to their employees.
(B) In order to attract workers, small companies must match the wages offered by their larger competitors, and these competitors would not be exempt under the proposed laws.
(C) The exact number of companies that are currently required to pay no less than the minimum wage but that would be exempt under the proposed laws is unknown.
(D) Some states have set their own minimum wages—in some cases, quite a bit above the level of the minimum wage mandated by current federal law—for certain key industries.
(E) Service companies make up the majority of small businesses and they generally employ more employees per dollar of revenues than do retail or manufacturing businesses.作者: zongzeng90 时间: 2010-4-25 10:07
你是怎么的出来的，这样解释虽然有道理但原文并没有给出，若要按你说的新法律提案中大公司并没有被豁免，原文因改为not exempt all large businesses from paying any minium wage.作者: xiao19870205 时间: 2010-4-27 06:48
exempt all small businesses from paying any minimum wage. 说明小公司是不受这个法律控制的。原先的法律要求比如所所有的公司提供最低工资￥500每月，由于新法的出台，小公司没有了最低工资的限制，但是大公司仍然存有最低工资的要求。新法律要求最低工资要高于500，比如是￥600每月，那相同条件下，由于大公司出的最低工资至少比小公司高，小公司如果想吸引员工的话就至少付出600，才能在最低工资上与大公司相抗衡作者: giflier 时间: 2010-4-28 06:49
