It has been found that job prospects for college graduates have never been better. The trend is likely to continue over the next decade. A recent survey found that most employers simply did not know that the number of students graduating would drop by 25 percent over the past ten years, and had not anticipated or planned for this trend. Most employers were not aware that, although the supply of graduates currently meets demand, this situation could change. The same survey revealed that the number of undergraduates choosing to study subjects in high demand, like mathematics and engineering, has dropped substantially. This trend is likely to continue over the next decade.
Which one of the following can properly be concluded from the passage above?
(A) Soon, more graduates are likely to be competing for fewer jobs.
(B) Soon, there is likely to be a shortage of graduates to fill certain vacancies.
(C) Employers are aware of changing trends in subjects studied by undergraduates.
(D) Soon, fewer graduates are likely to be competing for fewer available jobs.
(E) Employers who are well-informed about future trends have anticipated and planned for them.

argument
= strong job market for grads, trend likely continues
= past grads fell by 25%
= most emps didn't know or planned for this
= grads choosing high demand subjects also fell
= supply grads currently meets demand
= this trend will continue
infer/con
ans (B) grads in high demand subjects fell, trend will continue, thus safe to assume, there will be a shortage of grads for certain vacancies.
