Overall, it can be seen that the data of mathematics graduates who have full time jobs remain stable and higher than others’ through a given period. Although they began at the same earning, the growth speed and final- year salary of Maths Graduates outweighed their counterparts.
To clarify, the rate of mathematics graduates engaged in full-time jobs was 80% in 2004, which was 20% higher than the other. This percentage continued to gradually climb up through the years, whilst the mathematical rate peaked at around 90% in 2006, the general reached the top at nearly 85% in 2008. By the end of the given period, the statistics of each group were mostly identical with those in 2004.
Regarding the annual income, in 2004, 41.000$ was recorded for both mathematics and general graduates. In the next 4 years, this number kept climbing up, with 9.000$ superior to math graduates’ initial earnings and 4.000$ higher with the overall group. In 2012, while math graduates received 56.000$ for yearly income, the common ground salary was 51.000$.
