It talks about the demand for employees and how they are working hard. This is a general statement that sets the stage for the rest of the paragraphs. It does not refer to any previous information. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'They go to work,' which needs context.
