Band 4+: The graphs below show the percentage of graduates that got full-time jobs after graduating from a university in Australia, and the average salary of both these types of graduates, from 2004 to 2012. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

In the chart shown, math graduates and other graduates are being compared during years 2004 until 2012 by their salaries.

In the year 2004, math and other graduates were tied with the same number of salaries, but the math graduates were higher than the other graduates, math students having around 80 students, and other graduates reaching about 65. In 2004, they were still tied in salaries but went up to about 43,000 dollars and the number of graduates for math still remained 80, but other graduates went up to about 85 students. In contrast to 2008 where there was a major increase for math students going up to 50,000 dollars, but for other graduates it only got up to 2000 dollars. Whereas 2010, math graduates had a slight rise of 1000 dollars and other graduates going up by 2000 dollars again, but in 2012, there was a noticeable surge of salaries that was 5000 dollars for math graduates and four thousand for other graduates.

In conclusion, the other graduates had a more continuous overall increase compared to the math graduates throughout the years, even though math graduates had higher salaries. In addition to math students who remained the same number, but other graduates slightly decreased.
