Answer 2

B) It fell by 2.3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reason why the contribution of manufacturing goods has decreased is that more goods are being imported from China and other countries. More people are switching from low paying manufacturing jobs to high paying service jobs.

Manufacturing jobs have been decreasing during the last decades while service jobs have been continuously increasing. Currently service jobs account for more than 70% of total employment.
