LSAT Question Explanation
PT 158, Section 2, Question 4
Most Strongly SupportedExplanation
This information seems to be indicating that a company would be unlikely to hire part-time workers as replacements for full-time workers, since part-time workers are generally less satisfied with their jobs and therefore less efficient.
Answer choices
Some economists say this, but the author of the stimulus indicates that this statement is actually not true.
We have no idea if companies with the highest profits tend to pay their employees well.
Yes because full-time workers are more likely to be satisfied and the author says companies probably won't replace satisfied workers with dissatisfied workers.
We don't really know much about why part-time workers have a higher turnover rate. There could be any number of factors, or maybe it's just because they're dissatisfied. We don't know.
We don't know when companies hire part-time workers. Maybe full-time workers also want certain jobs, but companies hire part-time so they don't have to pay benefits.
