Hey guys
I can grasp the difference between the following two answers.
Editorial
In Ledland unemployed adult 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 employer to hire workers cheaply. However, the supplement will not raise any worker's income above the 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?
at any given time, people who are currently employed have the best chance of being offered a job that will give them an income significantly greater than government assistance would give them.
The financial assistance that the government provides to people who have no other income is less than the average starting wage.
I wrongly put my bet on the second one. But I can's see why it's incorrect.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Lukas
