The author concludes that unemployment in the city has been improving over the past two years because studies show a steady decrease in the number of unemployed people actively looking for jobs.

The author assumes that unemployment is improving simply because there are fewer unemployed people looking for jobs. She overlooks any alternative explanations for this. For example, what if people just stopped looking for jobs but are still unemployed?

The author never makes any claims or assumptions about whether the government is responsible for the improvement in unemployment. In fact, she doesn’t say anything about the government at all.

The author relies on data from a two-year period to support her conclusion about that same two-year period. She doesn’t use it to justify an overly broad conclusion.

This points out an alternative explanation for the decrease in the number of unemployed people actively looking for jobs. Perhaps there are still many unemployed people who want jobs, they just stopped actively looking.

The argument doesn’t address governmental efforts at all, nor does it address whether certain jobs are high-paying.

The author may not discuss other economic indicators, but her conclusion is specifically about unemployment in the city, not about the economy in general. (E) fails to address why the author’s cited study doesn’t support the conclusion that unemployment is improving.
