Employment costs rose 2.8 percent in the 12 months that ended in September, slightly less than they did in the year that ended in the previous quarter.
less than they did
less than it did
less than they were
lower than
lower than they were
还没有题目讲解（毕出老师会陆续发布对官方考题的解读，请保持关注）。
Costs do not rise low/high (comparative forms are: lower/higher). The usage sounds awkward. Costs should rise little / much.
Please note that: lower is a comparative form of low. Lower is only be used with nouns that can be described as low. There is no clear rule for less/lower. Usually, you have to memorize the usage of less/lower for each situation. For example:
less表示smaller in size, amount, degree....
lower是higher的对立面
上升幅度不能说lower只能说less？
之前好像在某题的解析里看到过，但是找不到是那道题了。。。
是的。不能说更低的幅度，肯定是更小的幅度嘛~
但是为什么后面: slightly.....不能理解为是2.8percent的修饰啊
