Passage Summary: The city claims things are looking up for workers because fewer unemployed people are out there looking for jobs.

Conclusion: The city's unemployment situation has gotten better over the last two years.

Reasoning: There has been a steady drop in the number of people without jobs who are currently searching for work.

Analysis: The argument makes a huge leap by assuming that a decrease in job-seekers is the same thing as an increase in employment. It ignores 'discouraged workers'—people who are still unemployed but have given up looking or have left the city entirely. If people stop looking for work because they've lost hope, the 'unemployment situation' hasn't actually improved. Look for an answer that highlights this failure to consider other reasons why the number of active job-seekers might decline.
