Answer 2

D. Healthcare support is a growing field, while production is decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This table shows the change in employment, so:

• Positive percentages show an increase (growth) in employment
• Negative percentages show a decrease in employment

This question asks us to look at Healthcare Support v. Production:

• Healthcare Support will have a 23% increase in employment.
• Production will have a 3% decrease in employment.

This means that Healthcare support is growing as a field, while production is decreasing as a field. So D is the correct answer.
