The line graph shows data about the percentage of graduates who got full-time jobs and their average salary in the UK. The period covers the years from 2004 to 2012.
Overall, the average salary had an upward trend throughout the period. However, the percentage of full-time jobs had a downward trend until 2009, and then it increased a little bit.
In 2004, the percentage of graduates with full-time jobs was 75%, which was the highest point in the graph. After that, the number dropped to roughly 73% in 2005 and continued to fall steadily. By 2009, it reached the lowest point at 64%. After 2009, the percentage started to recover. It rose to 65% in 2010 and finally reached 69% in 2012.
Regarding the salary, it started at £25,000 in 2004. Unlike the employment rate, the salary increased every year. It went up to about £26,000 in 2007 and £27,000 in 2009. The increase continued until the end of the period. In 2012, the average salary was £29,000. This shows that graduates earned more money in 2012 than in 2004, even though it was harder to get a job.
