the pie charts present data on an engineering company’s staff, regarding their education. Notably, each year exhibited a unique pattern of educational background, as in 1980, Masters in Science was prevalent, while in 2008, a PhD was more common.
Employees with a PhD in Science were about 13% of the company, but this figure increased to 30% in 2008, representing the dominant degree. Similarly, the proportion of people having a masters in Arts increased slightly from 12% to 13% in 1980 and 2008, respectively. Approximately 2% of the staff earned a PhD in arts with a percentage of 2% in 1980, rising to 7% in 2008.
In contrast, the proportion of people owning a first degree in Arts decreased markedly between the two years, declining from 25% to 11%. At the same time, a first degree in science possession fell from 19% to 10% in 2008. However, Masters in Science was the only degree to maintain the same proportion of 29% in both years.
The two graphs compare different levels of education in an engineering company. Overall, the figures for people having a Masters and a PhD grew significantly, while the proportion of employees with first degrees declined
