Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phrase "long-term shift towards jobs that require" suggests that there has been a trend of job growth in a particular direction over time. The correct answer must reflect this trend. Option B, "more skill and more education, not less," is the best choice as it describes a shift towards jobs that require greater skills and education. Options A, C, and D do not accurately reflect this trend. Option A suggests a shift towards jobs that require less skill and education, which is inconsistent with the evidence of job growth over time. Option C suggests that there has been a shift towards jobs that require more skill but less education, which is not necessarily true. Finally, option D suggests there has been a shift towards jobs that require more education but fewer skills, which is also not consistent with the general trend.
