Recent estimates predict that between 1982 and 1995 the greatest increase in the number of people employed will be in the category of low-paying service occupations. This category, however, will not increase its share of total employment, whereas the category of high-paying service occupations will increase its share.
If the estimates above are accurate, which of the following conclusions can be drawn?
(A) In 1982 more people were working in low-paying service occupations than were working in high-paying service occupations.
(B) In 1995 more people will be working in high-paying service occupations than will be working in low-paying service occupations.
(C) Nonservice occupations will account for the same share of total employment in 1995 as in 1982.
(D) Many of the people who were working in low-paying service occupations in 1982 will be working in high-paying service occupations by 1995.
(E) The rate of growth for low-paying service occupations will be greater than the overall rate of employment growth between 1982 and 1995.
Help required, Thanks!

Just for the info of others,
A and B are not related. Consider the following scenario:
1982 - Total jobs 100 - Low paying - 80, High Paying - 20
1995 - Total jobs 200 - Low paying - 150, High Paying - 50
Increase in Low Paying - 70.
Increase in High Paying - 30.
A is valid, but B is not.

was stuck between A and B.B is more of a prediction which may not hold true.
So went with A.
