Question

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 100,800 chefs/head cooks employed in the United States in 2010 and 320,900 food service managers. Those numbers were projected to decrease to 98,800 and 311,000 by 2020. Which job was facing the larger percent decrease

Answer 1

Foodservice managers

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the data available in the question we have the following:

In 2010 => Chefs / head cooks - 100,800 personnel

In 2010 => Foodservice managers = 320,900 personnel

In 2020 => Chefs/head cooks = 98,800

In 2020 => Foodservice managers = 311,000

The difference in chefs/head cooks = 100,800 - 98,000 = 2,000

While that of Food service managers = 320,900 - 311,000 = 9,900

Hence, percentage for chefs / head cooks = 2000/108900 = 1.98% decrease

Percentage of fold service managers = 9900/320900 = 3.09% decrease.

Hence, in this case, Foodservice managers facing a larger percentage decrease.
