The line chart illustrates the proportion of full-time employees holding a university degree, while the table provides the data on the average income of university graduates.
Overall, it is immediately apparent that, despite the initial growth, math graduates consistently exhibited the lowest figures in terms of full-time employment. Of particular note is the fact that the average salary of both math graduates and other graduates increased significantly over the period, with the math postgraduates exhibiting the biggest growth.
Regarding full-time employment, both sides followed a decreasing trend, albeit to varying degrees. All other graduates consistently remained at around 80% until 2012, when the share decreased below 80%.Math graduates followed the same pattern, commencing at 65% of alumni holding a full-time position, and then soaring to almost 90%. However, starting from 2008, the proportion of math graduates started to decrease, ultimately returning to its starting point.
Moving to the average income of postgraduates, in 2004 both math graduates and other graduates had equal earnings, at $41,000. However, from that year on, the monthly earnings of math graduates followed a growing trajectory, declining in 2010 and bouncing back in the final year, at $59,000.Other graduates mirrored the same pattern, leaping from $41,000 to $53,000 in the final year of the timeframe.
