Answer 1

Answer:  c. The median pay of economics majors increased more in dollar terms than any other majors in 2015.

Explanation:

According to research by several job websites, Economics majors saw their wages increase more than other majors in terms of dollar terms in 2015.

This has been attributed to the Economics field needing more specialization as most entry level economics jobs require at least a masters in the field. While there does not seem to be any reason for this, it is theorized that the need for Economists has been on the rise as economies become more uncertain.
