D
Choice D
The question is about absolute numbers. The absolute numbers of a smaller percentage can be more than the absolute numbers of a larger percentage, if the denominator of the former is significantly larger than that of the latter. For example, isn’t 3% of 300 bigger than 5% of 150? D brings out the fact that, the total work force happened to be larger in 1986 than in 1981.
But there is a small pitfall here. The difference between the two bases should be significantly large.For, 3% of 200 is not bigger than 5% of 150. Choice D could have made it explicitly clear, although it is still the only plausible choice that supports the argument
A – Advertisement is irrelevant to the issue
B. – talks of internal shift, which in no way affects overall unemployment
C: talks of a sectional occurrence in some states rather than the national average. Not filly scoopful
E. - outside the scope because the issue here is about 1981 and 1986 and not during 1981 and 1986. Secondly we are discussing total unemployment and not the stint.
