Premise: Number of jobs in the US is growing
Conclusion: Everyone will have job
Assumption: Everyone is capable of getting a job regardless of anything else: education, health
(A) It does not quote numbers showing how jobs are growing in comparison to the population.
A valid point, however, the argument doesn't suggest that everyone will have the job always. It says everyone who is in the age range will get the job
(B) Some people will never have jobs because they lack the skills to hold a simple job.
Correct answer
(C) It fails to quote government reports comparing pay rates of new jobs to minimum wage.
Pay rates is out of scope to the argument.
(D) Some people will have to hold two or even three jobs to live at a minimum level.
The argument is not concerned about the living conditions that people will have.
(E) It fails to consider tax rates.
Tax rates are out of scope to the argument.

Can you provide the detailed OA??
i think A is also a valid error in reasoning......big growth in job creation ......if not comparable to working age population......some ppl will always be jobless...... and i dont think B is any stronger than A
