Solution Steps

The graph shows the percentage change in employment from 2000 to 2010 for various industries. We are looking for industries with less than 50% growth.

• Health Services: More than 50%
• Personnel Supply Services: More than 50%
• Warehousing and Storage: More than 50%
• Water and Sanitation: More than 50%
• Computer and Data Processing: More than 50%
• Management and Public Relations: More than 50%
• Cable Television Services: More than 50%
• Residential Care: More than 50%
• Business Services: Roughly 45%, which is less than 50%
• Equipment Rental and Leasing: Roughly 45%, which is less than 50%

The question asks which industry did _not_ have at least 50% growth. From the analysis above, both "Business Services" and "Equipment Rental and Leasing" had less than 50% growth. Since only one answer can be correct, and only "Business Services" is an option given, that must be the answer.
