The line graphs illustrate the figures of both math sophomores and whole sophomores who obtained permanent employment post-graduating from college in Australia as well as the information on average wages given in the table during the period of 8 years, between 2004 and 2012. Overall, the percentage of full-time workers owning a university degree decreased slightly in 2012. In contrast, the value of graduates’ average salary rose gradually over the next 8 years.
As can be seen from the line chart, as regards both of the graduals witnessed a slight climb until they plummeted moderately at the end of the period. The percentage of all graduates reached its peak at just over four-fifths within 2 years, from 2006 to 2008, until it leveled off at 60% in 2012. Likewise, the math graduates reached a peak of 90% in 2006 and dropped insignificantly to 80% in 2012.
The table data clearly shows the growth of the average salary of the graduates. In 2 years, between 2006 and 2008, the amounts of wages for two graduates increased by less than around 5% from the lowest number at 41,000 dollars to the number of 43,000 dollars. Eventually, it keeps gradually rising to the amount of 56,000 dollars for math grads and 51,000 dollars for all grads at the edge of the period in 2012.
