基数大,就算绝对人数增长的多,但相应比例未必增长
1000个低收入行业,增长100
10个高收入行业,增长90,
高收入行业比例增长了。

C、D can be rejected easily,

suppose such a situation: 100 employees among which 90 belong to low-paying service and 10 high-paying service. The rate of increase in both low-paying and high-paying service is 10%, then low-paying increases 9 and high-paying increase 1. Be careful the unchanged shares. The share of low-paying is 90% and that of high-paying is 10%. If the increase in low-paying is a little more than 9, say 10. then the share of it will no doubt increase. At the same time the overal increase of employment is more than 10%. Now come the same situation as described above.
