参考答案【正确答案：C】
判断题。根据题干定位到第一段。根据第二句:…while 57, 000 secretarial jobs will vanish可以排除 A 选项。根据倒数第二句：Time is also hard for stock clerks, whose ranks are expected to decrease by 68，000 可以排除 B 选项。根据倒数第一句：… wholesalers are beingreplaced with computerized systems 可以排除 D 选项。managers 又才应的词 executives 出现在第三句, 但是这句话并没有说管理者是失业群体。因此c选项正确。
