For example: In 1940 just 2.4 percent of employed Chinese males were engaged in professional or technical occupations; that figure jumped to 6.3 percent by 1950 and 28.7 percent by 1970, an increase of more than 45-fold in thirty years.
例如：一九四○年受雇的中國男性中，專業與技術人員只佔了百分之二．四；這個數字在一九五○年提高到百分之六．三，到一九七○年更達百分之廿八．七。
