The line chart provides information about the proportion of graduated students in Australia who worked full-time after university and the table displays the average salaries of math and other graduates between years 2004 and 2012.

Notably, math and other unspecified graduates initially had equal salary values, but to the end of the period math graduates had salary that is considerably more than in other graduates.
In 2012, workers holding mathematics university degree with just approximately 65% rised dramatically to just below 90% in 2006; then, steadily dropped back to almost 65% in 2012. All other graduates that initially had approximately 80% in 2004 slightly declined year on year to just below 90% in 2012.
In 2004, both graduates recorded with the salary of $41,000, but to the end of the period (2012) mathematics graduates’ salary was noticeably more in comparison with all other graduates: with $59,000 and with $53,000 respectively.
