Passage Summary: The author claims that because single companies often fire people to become more efficient, making the whole country's economy more efficient will result in more people losing their jobs.

Conclusion: Increasing productivity in the entire economy will lead to higher unemployment.

Reasoning: In individual corporations, increasing productivity often involves cutting staff to increase profits.

Analysis: The argument suffers from a 'part-to-whole' flaw. It assumes that because a specific strategy (cutting workers) is used by individual corporations to boost productivity, that same outcome must occur when the economy as a whole becomes more productive. It fails to consider that a more productive economy might create new types of jobs or that the gains in one sector could lead to growth in another. Look for an answer that points out this unwarranted leap from the behavior of a single business to the behavior of the entire economic system.
