"There is a referendum on the upcoming election ballot that would restrict companies doing business with the state from hiring an individual who has served in an elective office for a period of five years after the individual's term is over. I'm planning to vote against this referendum, because I think five years is too long to expect someone to go without being able to earn a living."

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

(A) Voters should not be allowed to restrict the conduct of individuals no longer serving in public office.
(B) Companies that perform work for the state frequently want to hire former elected offcials in order to gain inside information.
(C) Former elected officials should not be restricted from seeking employment with private companies if other state employees are not required to do so.
(D) Agreements restricting the employment of former elected officials typically specify only one- or two-year periods.
(E) Former elected officals cannot earn a living in any way other than by working for companies that do business with the state.

The conclusion : Referendum passes ----> ex-official will not be able to earn ANY living for 5 years.
Assumption: Aren't there any other job that the can do??


Only E addresses this.

It's definitely E.

One trick with Assumption questions is to look for things in the conclusion that were not part of the evidence -- they often point to the assumption, which is simply unstated evidence. As dinesh19aug pointed out, we get "too long to expect someone to go without being able to earn a living" where the original evidence only said that the person couldn't work for companies doing business with the state.
