In modern industrial economies, mass production techniques allowed owners of industries to employ fewer workers. Many of those workers required little training. This led to lower prices. Lower prices allowed workers to buy goods they previously could not afford. However, jobs for workers with little training are more vulnerable to being eliminated.

The introduction of mass production techniques can create risks as well as benefits for workers.

This answer is unsupported. We don’t know anything about the purchasing power of highly trained workers from the stimulus. We only know that jobs for highly trained workers are less vulnerable.

This answer is unsupported. The stimulus does not tell us anything about workers' benefits decreasing, nor about industrial profits increasing as a result of mass production techniques.

This answer is unsupported. All we know about job security is that workers with little training have less security. We don't know how much training the highest-paid workers need, nor how much security they have.

This answer is strongly supported. We know from the stimulus that increased purchasing power and decreased job security have a common cause: mass production techniques.

This answer is anti-supported. The stimulus tells us that modern industrial techniques lowered prices, which in turn increased the purchasing power of workers. And we have no reason to assume that has changed.
