Which of the following best completes the passage below?
The unemployment rate in the United States fell from 7.5 percent in 1981 to 6.9 percent in 1986. It cannot, however, be properly concluded from these statistics that the number of unemployed in 1986 was lower than it had been in 1981 because______
(A) help-wanted advertisements increased between 1981 and 1986
(B) many of the high-paying industrial jobs available in 1981 were replaced by low-wage service jobs in 1986, resulting in displacements of hundreds of thousands of workers
(C) in some midwestern industrial states, the unemployment rate was much higher in 1986 than it had been in 1981
(D) the total available work force, including those with and without employment, increased between 1981 and 1986
(E) the average time that employees stay in any one job dropped during the period 1981 to 1986

Re: complete the passage [#permalink] New post 29 Aug 2012, 10:26
this is numbers and percentages problem..

increase or decrease in percentage need not proportionately increase or decrease the numbers which is proved by the option d

which states that number of both employed and unemployed have increased i.e ultimately the no. of unemployed has increased


the percentages is entirely a different issue here
