The graph shows the amount of students who succeeded in getting full-time jobs after finishing an Australian university, including math and other graduates, from 2004 to 2012. Therefore, the table is illustrating the size of money they earned monthly during the 8 years mentioned above.
Overall, the chances of finding a full-time job as a math major stayed nearly the same during the time, with the slight increase in 2008. However, other graduates were more successful in 2006, yet the number was slowly decreasing by the end of 2012. The average salary of all students was increasing each year, with the salary of math majors being higher in last 3 years.
Starting low, with around 65% of students who found full-time jobs, the chances grew by 20% in 2 years, whilst math graduates stayed stable at slightly above 75%. Unfortunately, the percentage was dropping yearly for the first group. An interesting fact is that in 2008 both math and other graduates had equal chances of being hired – 80%, unlikely the amount of money the students would get – $50000 as math majors and only $45000 for those who majored in other fields. In the following years all of workers kept getting increasing in salary.
