「求助」TTGWD11-Q30:

xueguelili

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?

 

1. The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.->IR
2. Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has. ->IR
3. People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.
4. The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.

->与the poverty level比较The yearly amount无意义

5. People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work. ->IR

 

请教各位XDJM们…

这道我都可排除掉其它选项…只搞不懂C选???

结论是失业的人无诱因去接受政府补助

找WEAKEN为何是C选????

结论是：对于失业的人，没有经济刺激以使他们接受相对比较低的工资的工作。

C认为：对于已经受雇的人，其找工作时要求的工资会比失业的人所要求高。个人认为这个地方说明了有经济刺激。如果是这样，失业的人可能还是愿意接受结论中所述的工作，再找工作时会要求更高工资。

 C选项说明那些有工作的人换工作会得到更好的工资，就是给那些没工作的人指出了一条明路：入门工资低以后可以换高。所以从长远看还是有financial incentive 的。'

请教各位，我有个问题是关于E的irrelevant， 是不是因为结论是说unemployed people will have no financial incentive，而E没有和financial incentive有任何联系，所以是irrelevant.

Condition: the supplement will not raise any worker’s income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed

Conclusion: unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.

People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed, consequently, there is financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement. Although the total level of take home pay will be caped by governmental pay subsidies up to a predetermined level, the existing position help you gain an opportunity for higher wage, and such opportunity is not available for current none workers. Why there is no financial incentive.
