A college graduate in 1972 found a job paying $7,200. The CPI was 0.418 in 1972. A college graduate in 2005 found a job paying $30,000. The CPI was 1.68 in 2005. The 1972 graduate's job paid in nominal terms and in real terms than the 2005 graduate's job.

D. Less; Less

Explanation:

Given that

CPI in 2005 = 1.68

Wage in 1972 = 7200

Wage in 2005 = 30,000

CPI in 1971 = 0.418

Therefore,

Real wage in 1972 = wage in 1972/CPI in 1972

= 7200/0.418

= $17,224.88

Real wage in 2005 = wage in 2005/CPI in 2005

= 30000/1.68

=$17,857.14

Thus, from the given data 1972 job paid LESS in nominal terms (7200 < 30000) and LESS in real terms (17,244.88 < 17,857.14) than the 2005 job.
