"few" should be used instead of "little" when modifying countable items (Answers A, B). "few" technical skills is better than "little" technical skills. In addition, we can eliminate choices that incorrectly claim that wages have skills instead of workers have skills (Answers D, E). The full solution below is taken from the GMATFix App.
