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.
表示数量的更高/更低用higher/lower,只能做形容词。跟在动词的后面表示动作的多少用less/more
The costs rose 2.8 percent this year,xx than last year.
这里的中心词是谓语动词rose,rose less/more,不是2.8%这个数字在比较。
如果要比较数量,可以说The costs rose 2.8 percent this year,which was lower than last year.或a number lower than last year
If you wanted to use "lower than" correctly, you would need a noun in the second part of the comparison (e.g. "2.8% is lower than the percent for last quarter).
some uncountable nouns are plural. for instance, "taxes" is a plural noun, but the concept that it represents is uncountable (taxes are not things that you can separate into one, two, three,...)
costs rose对应they did
原句句意为从去年Sept到今年Sept提升的的cost比从去年June到今年June提升的少
