Statement 1:
Percentage and Numbers are not the same
A lower percentage can yield a larger number of the total is much higher

Statement 2;
It can be seen visually that the statement is true

Statement 3:
This was hard to observe as the data is quite close but can be deduced based on the length of the bars

Which of the following conclusions can logically be drawn from the graphic above?

More than twice as many management, professional, and related employees have health care as do service employees.....Cannot Be Concluded
Almost 88%, of Management, Professional & Related employees have health care benefits, but only 42-43% of Service employees have those benefits. We can conclude that the %age of MP&R is twice that of Service employees, but since there are no details on the number of employees in each segment, this statement cannot be concluded.

More than 75% of management, professional, and related employees have retirement benefits.....Can Be concluded
Employees in MP&R who have Medical & Retirement benefits are almost 78%, and those with Retirement and no Medical are almost 3-4%. Total MP&R with Retirement Benefits ~ 81%-82%. So, this statement can be concluded.

A higher percentage of natural resources, construction, and maintenance workers than of production, transportation, and material moving workers have some sort of retirement benefits.....Cannot Be Concluded

%age of Natural Resource, Construction, and Maintenance workers with some sort of retirement benefits:
Medical & Retirement ~ 62%
Retirement & No Medical ~ 3%%
Total = 65%

%age of Production, Transportation, and Material moving workers with some sort of retirement benefits:
Medical & Retirement ~ 61%
Retirement & No Medical ~ 7%%
Total = 68%

Actual scenario is vice versa of this statement. So, this statement Cannot be concluded.

I have a doubt about the last question stem

with the given data I can conclude that the percentage of Group A workers is not higher than Group B.

So doesn't it mean that we can say that: it can be concluded that it is not the case?

instead of saying that we cannot conclude anything from this data set.

The fact you can prove it incorrect isn't relevant to the question, the wording only asks for if you can conclude the statement is true. The use of the phrase "can be concluded" is used for two reasons: because some statements lack sufficient data to prove or disprove their claim OR the data disproves the claim. In this case, it's cannot be concluded because the data disproves the statement, even we though we can conclude the statement cannot be concluded, it doesn't make it any more correct
