Study the following information and select appropriate logical conclusion based on it.

Over the last three years - between early 2016 and late 2018 -38 million jobs were added for people who completed only primary education, that is up to 5th standard. This implied that jobs for these barely educated people increased by nearly 45% over these three years. In comparison, people who had acquired a little better education that is between 6th and 9th standard, saw an addition of much lesser 18 million jobs implying also a lower 26% increase in jobs for these people. People who had completed secondary-to-higher secondary school education - 10th, 11th or 12th - saw a growth of 13 million jobs reflecting only a 12% growth over a three years period.
