Answer 2

The correct answer is "14%".

Explanation:

Given:

Jobs in 2018,

= 13.6 million

Jobs in 2028,

= 15.5 million

Now,

In healthcare occupation, the projected percent increase will be:

=
`Increase \ in \ jobs* (100)/(No. \ of \ jobs \ in 2018)`

By putting the values, we get

=
`(15.5-13.6)* (100)/(13.6)`

=
`(1.9)* (100)/(13.6)`

=
`13.97` (%)

or,

=
`14`%
