gre argument 143题目：
The following appeared as a letter to the editor of a national newspaper.
"Your recent article on corporate downsizing* in the United States is misleading(8). The article gives the mistaken impression that many competent workers who lost jobs as a result of downsizing face serious economic hardship, often for years, before finding other suitable employment. But this impression is contradicted by a recent report on the United States economy, which found that since 1992 far more jobs(1,2) have been created than have been eliminated. The report also demonstrates that many(3) of those who lost their jobs have found new employment(4). Two-thirds of the newly created jobs have been in industries that tend to pay above-average wages(6), and the vast majority of these jobs are full-time(5)."
*Downsizing is the process in which corporations deliberately reduce the number of their employees.
提纲：
(1)The author does not provide the actual number of new jobs created, perhaps the number is still lower than the total number of laid-off workers although it is higher than the number of jobs eliminated.
(2)The author fails to demonstrate that the newly created jobs since 1992 are suitable for those workers downsized by corporations.
(3)The report does not clearly demonstrate what fraction of workers who lost their jobs have found new employment.
(4)We are not informed what kind of new employment did those workers find, and if these jobs are high-paying jobs.
(5)The author fails to inform us how many laid-off workers engaged in those highly paid and full-time jobs mentioned by the author.
(6)The fact that many new jobs are in industries that tend to pay high wages does not necessarily guarantee that these new jobs are also highly paid.
(7)The statistics cited by the author still does not rule out the possibility that many laid-off worker do face serious economic hardship before they find a new job.
注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
