Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one of every five Americans at work was employed, i. e., worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago "being employed" meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years; middle-class and upper-class employees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working population—growing so fast that the industrial worker, the oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production.
Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it be the mechanist’s trade or bookkeeping. Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, and the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge.

选项
A、eighty percent of American working people were employed in factories
B、twenty percent of American intellectuals were employees
C、the percentage of intellectuals in the total work force was almost the same as that of industrial workers
D、the percentage of intellectuals working as employees was not so large as that of industrial workers
答案
D
解析
根据题干关键词fifty years ago定位到第一段第四、五句可知,美国社会在过去的五十年中有两个特点,即中产阶级和上层阶级的雇员成为劳动大军中人数增长最快的群体,尽管工业生产在逐渐扩大,因工业革命诞生的产业工人却失去了数量上的重要性。所以可以推断出五十年以前,知识分子被雇佣的比例没有产业工人大,因此答案为D
