C. Retail and communications firms are on the decline. D. The twelve fastest-growing occupations are technology-based and/or tied to the health professions.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Retail and communications firms are on the decline.

With technology becoming easily accessible to all people in all walks of life, consumers are finding it easier to do everything with their mobiles and computers. Communicating is as easy as sending a chat message and buying items online is definitely more appealing that spending time in a physical shop.

 

Answer 2

Which of the following is a true statement about the U.S. workplace? Retail and communication firms are on the decline. The reason retail and communication firms are on the decline because consumers are more likely to order items offline due to convenience instead of visiting a retail store to make their purchase. This is being observed within many different types of purchasing because people can order food online, groceries, toys and much more and they can do everything without even speaking to another human being.
