Multiple choice

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

A growing economy, the stock market booming, means more jobs. The growth has started in the cities with jobs chasing people, offering hope and guidance for those on the threshold of their careers. Ten years ago, 80 per cent of jobs were in the area of manufacturing, while today the majority of jobs come from the services sector. Government jobs are no longer an attractive destination for those looking at a wide choice of other exciting options. With governments downsizing, there are less jobs, and little of the power and status that many hopefuls once coveted.
