Question: Isn't the sentence shows the subjunctive mood?

as stuart said above, no; you're not allowed to change the meaning of the original sentence unless it's nonsense, and this one clearly isn't nonsense. it states an expectation that the average salary will rise.
if you were to use the subjunctive, you'd have to use it in one of the following 2 contexts:
(a) talking about a situation contrary to existing reality (if X would happen... when X is not, in fact, happening)
(b) talking about the consequences of a hypothetical future situation
notice that these contexts are closely tied together; both are unified by the theme of 'hypothetical', which doesn't apply to the sentence in this problem.

also note that in choice (d), 'through jobs becoming available' doesn't make sense either: taken literally (as it must be), the essential modifier in this wording means that the average salary will somehow rise 'through jobs' that are 'becoming available'. that doesn't make sense.
