In a recent government report, it was found that regions with a higher density of tech companies tend to have lower unemployment rates. The report suggests that the presence of these tech companies stimulates local economies by creating a high demand for skilled labor, which not only provides jobs within these companies but also boosts secondary employment in supporting industries. Based on this, the government is considering incentives to attract more tech companies to economically depressed regions.
If the statements above are true, which of the following must be true?
(A) Regions without a high density of tech companies will benefit from similar economic stimulation if tech companies are introduced there.
Wrong ChoiceThis is a tricky choice. The argument states that regions with a higher density of tech companies tend to have lower unemployment rates.
(B) Incentives to attract tech companies to economically depressed regions will significantly lower the unemployment rates in those regions.
Wrong ChoiceThe use of word "significantly" is wrong.
(C) Tech companies tend to create more jobs in regions where they are concentrated due to increased demand for skilled labor and supporting industries.
Correct ChoiceMatches the point mentioned in the argument "the presence of these tech companies stimulates local economies by creating a high demand for skilled labor, which not only provides jobs within these companies but also boosts secondary employment in supporting industries."
(D) The overall economy of a region is always improved by the presence of tech companies.
