Topic 416: The following appeared as part of an article in a magazine devoted to regional life.
"Corporations should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location. Even in the recent recession, Helios's unemployment rate was lower than the regional average.

In addition, Helios is attempting to expand its economic base by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative technologies."

The aforementioned argument in asserting that corporations should look at the city of Helios for new business opportunities, appears at first glance to be a fairly simple and convincing argument.

(2) Helios is the industrial center of the region, and always provides more than its share of the region\'s manufacturing jobs, and (3) the city is attempting to expand its economic base by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative technologies.

The argument concludes that the city of Helios is the ideal option for all those whose plan to establish a new business or re-locate their business. The factors used to arrive at this conclusion are not totally relevant or specific for the case in hand ,i.e, benefits for new businesses or re-locating companies. Thus the points discussed fail to provide substantial support for the conclusion drawn.

i do not find this argument very well reasoned. There are many deciding factors a corporation should look at before deciding to setup a business at a specific location. The deciding factors which the article provides are just not sufficient. Read more... - Investing in Helios... by welshamy
The author of the article praises Helios city and its workers by implicitly implying that they are being favoured in manufacturing jobs over other cities in the same region. He tries to support his claims by trends that show the lower unemployment rates compared to other cities in the region during a recent recession period, though he does not provide more data about unemployment before or after this recession.
