Read the following text and choose the most correct answer. Text: "Women who do find work are usually employed in vulnerable employment (often characterised by inadequate earnings, low productivity, and difficult work conditions) compared to men. 5.8% of employed women occupy management positions, compared to 9.8% of employed men. The occupations that contributed the largest share of employment among women include Elementary (22.3%), Sales and services (18.5%), Clerk (16.4%), Domestic workers (11.9%), and Technician (11.2%) in Q2:2022. In the same period, men recorded the largest share in Elementary (24.4%), Craft and related trade (17.2%), Sales and services (15%), and Plant and machine operator (13.4%)." This passage implies that: a) Although a smaller proportion of women than men are in management positions, a smaller proportion of women work in the Sales and services industry. b) Although a smaller proportion of women than men are in management positions, a smaller proportion of women work in the Elementary and Sales and services industries. c) Although a greater proportion of men than women are in management positions, a greater proportion of women work in the Elementary and Sales and services industries. d) Although a greater proportion of men than women are in management positions, a greater proportion of women work in the Sales and services industry.

By the end of 2010, women made up more than half of the labor force in the United States for the first time in the country’s history. The graphs show the percentage of jobs in the U.S. labor force held by men and by women from 1972 through 2009. Exercises 143–144 are based on the data displayed by the graphs. The formula $$ p=2.2 \sqrt{t}+36.2 $$ models the percentage of jobs in the U.S.labor force, $p$ , held by women $t$ years after 1972 . a. Use the appropriate graph to estimate the percentage of jobs in the U.S. labor force held by women in 2000 . Give your estimation to the nearest percent. b. Use the mathematical model to determine the percentage of jobs in the U.S. labor force held by women in 2000 . Round to the nearest tenth of a percent. c. According to the formula, when will 52$\%$ of jobs in the U.S. labor force be held by women? Round to the nearest year.
