Question

A.
a larger GDP per capita
B.
an increase in primary-sector jobs
C.
the use of more and more technology
D.
a better standard of living for most people

Answer 1

B. an increase in primary-sector jobs

An increase in primary-sector jobs typically indicates reliance on agriculture and raw materials, which is more characteristic of less developed economies. In contrast, increasing economic development is often associated with a shift towards secondary (manufacturing) and tertiary (services) sectors, which generally provide higher GDP per capita, greater use of technology, and improved standards of living.
