Question
1

The editorial's reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it

presumes, without providing justification, that the government is at least partly responsible for the improvement in the employment situation

relies on data from a period that is too short to justify an inference about a general trend

fails to take into account the possibility that many unemployed workers who still desire jobs may have stopped looking for jobs

fails to take into account that the sorts of governmental efforts that reduce unemployment may not be effective in creating more high-paying jobs

ignores other economic indicators, which may not have improved during the past two years
