Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement accurately reflects the decline in the percentage of American workers employed in the manufacturing sector since the 1940s.

B is incorrect because the percentage of Americans working in farming has actually decreased since 1910, not increased.

C is incorrect as global industrial output has generally increased since 1995, not fallen by more than 30 percent.

D may be a contributing factor, but it is not necessarily the only reason for the declining number of manufacturing jobs. Therefore, it is not the best choice.
