I did a mistake in my SOP. Will this mistake affect my chances of acceptance?

So, I did a mistake in my SOP. Here goes:

"The Return On Investment (ROI) in Canada when working is relatively low such that coming back to Saudi Arabia is very compelling because of marginally better job positions in the IT industry being very easy to find and get into."

I thought that "marginally" meant "A very high amount".

Marginally:

"To only a limited extent; slightly."

Will this affect my chances of acceptance? Can I inform the VO in any way of this mistake?

Thanks so much guys.
