People with a college degree are more likely than others to search for a new job while they are employed. There are proportionately more people with college degrees among managers and other professionals than among service and clerical workers. Surprisingly, however, 2009 figures indicate that people employed as managers and other professionals were no more likely than people employed as service and clerical workers to have searched for a new job.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent paradox?
A) People generally do not take a new job that is offered to them while they are employed unless the new job pays better.
B) Some service and clerical jobs pay more than some managerial and professional jobs.
C) People who felt they were overqualified for their current positions were more likely than others to search for a new job.
D) The percentage of employed people who were engaged in job searches declined from 2005 to 2009.
E) In 2009 employees with no college degree who retired were more likely to be replaced by people with a college degree if they retired from a managerial or professional job than from a service or clerical job.
