A study of the difference in earnings between men and women in the country of Naota found that the average annual earnings of women who are employed full time is 80 percent of the average annual earnings of men who are employed full time. However, other research consistently shows that, in Naota, the average annual earnings of all employed women is 65 percent of the average annual earnings of all employed men.
Which one of the following, if also established by research, most helps explain the apparent discrepancy between the research results described above?
(A) In Naota, the difference between the average annual earnings of all female workers and the average annual earnings of all male workers has been gradually increasing over the past 30 years.
(B) In Naota, the average annual earnings of women who work full time in exactly the same occupations and under exactly the same conditions as men is almost the same as the men’s average annual earnings.
(C) In Naota, a growing proportion of female workers hold full-time managerial, supervisory, or professional positions, and such positions typically pay more than other types of positions pay.
(D) In Naota, a larger proportion of female workers than male workers are part-time workers, and part-time workers typically earn less than full-time workers earn.
(E) In ten other countries where the proportion of women in the work force is similar to that of Naota, the average annual earnings of women who work full time ranges from a low of 50 percent to a high of 90 percent of the average annual earnings of men who work full time.

D is the answer.
Full Time Employed Women Vs All Women Employed in Noata ---> If majority of women work part-time, that explains the discrepancy.

Though the average earnings of women who are employed full time is 80%
of the average earnings of men, the average of women's earnings(employed at large)
is only 65% of the men's earnings.
"In Naota, a larger proportion of female workers than male workers are part-time
workers, and part-time workers typically earn less than full-time workers earn" (Option D)
which gives us the proportion of the part-time workers, and the percentage of female(part-time
workers) being more than male(part-time workers) explains the earnings of female to male going down overall.
