Part 1: The difference between the number of unemployed high school graduates and the number of unemployed workers without a high school diploma was smallest in ________.
Looking at the graph we need to figure out difference between the number of unemployed high school graduates, second line from top (square data points), and the number of unemployed workers without a high school diploma, top line (diamond data points).
As the number of unemployed high school graduates is always lower than the number of unemployed workers without a high school diploma the difference will be always be negative. Hence, the difference will be smallest when the distance between second line from top (square data points) and top line (diamond data points) is the largest. Hence, the answer should be June.
However, the answer is September.
I'm confused because of this. For September to be the answer should the question ask the difference between the number of unemployed workers without a high school diploma and the difference between the number of unemployed high school graduates was smallest in ____ ?
OR
Are we considering the absolute values when we are calculating the difference?
Part 2: The only group that saw no rise in unemployment during this five month period was _____
Less than a high school diploma - rise in unemployment from September to October.
High School Diploma, no college - rise in unemployment from June to July.
Some College - rise in unemployment from September to October.
Bachelor's degree and higher - no rise in unemployment. (Steady - July to September or Decrease - September to October.)
Hence answer is Bachelor's degree and higher.
