Changes in the American labor force since 1970 reveal all of the following EXCEPT

Answer
A
a rise in minority workers.
B
that women make up 47 percent of the labor force.
C
90 percent of the labor force aged 25–64 has graduated from high school.
D
over one half of the labor force has a college degree.

Explanation

The statement that more than half of the labor force has a college degree is the exception. Although educational attainment has increased, fewer than half of workers hold a college degree; the other statements describe changes or characteristics of the labor force, including rising minority participation and women making up about 47 percent of workers.
