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

• Unemployment rates are not useful indicators of growth and prosperity.

• Economic growth cannot be measured in terms of productivity.

• Legislation has not been recently passed to make legal bankruptcy easier to obtain.

• There has not been an increase in the number of bankruptcy lawyers.
