Of particular note is average remuneration of both groups saw a increase albeit at similar numbers in 2004 and 2006.
In 2004 the figure for mathematical graduates who worked full-time stood at approximately 65% and saw increase by 25% reaching high of 90%. In the remaining years this figure rebounded to its initial percentage-65% and settled at this numbers. The figure for all graduates started the period at 80% and saw a fluctuating trends over the period and settled at 75%.
Regarding salaries, both groups illustrated rise throughout the period. The figure for math graduates began the period at same numbers as other graduates- $41,000 and increased to $51,000 in 2008.
