Stats

Difficulty—

Women make up a larger proportion of workers in the information services industry than they did ten years ago. This is partly shown by the fact that in 1985, only 7 percent of women in the workforce were employed in the information services industry, but in 1995, over 16 percent of women in the workforce were employed in the information services industry.

In evaluating the argument above, it would be most useful to compare 1985 and 1995 with regard to which of the following characteristics?


(A) The percentage of women in the workforce who were not employed in the information services industry

(B) The percentage of women who are now retired who have worked in the information services industry

(C) The percentage of women who have been promoted to managerial positions within the information services industry

(D) The percentage of men in the workforce who were employed in the information services industry

(E) The percentage of men who will soon be eligible for employment in the information services industry

Option A - Incorrect
In evaluating the argument, the percentage of women in the workforce who were not employed in the information agency is not needed, because, the percentage of women who were employed in the information industry has been provided in the argument.

Option B - Incorrect
The argument is not concerned with women who are now retired and have worked in the information agency.

Option C - Incorrect
The argument is not concerned with the percentage of women who were promoted to managerial positions within the information service industry.

Option D - Correct
To know the difference between the percentage of women and men who are employed into the industry over then years and to evaluate the argument, it is essential also to know the percentage of men who were employed in the industry within 1885 and 1995.

Option E - Incorrect
The argument is not about the eligibility of men for employment in the information services industry.
