The graph illustrates the proportion of math and other graduate students who were employed in full-time positions from an Australia’s university, and also compare how much they earned on average between 2004 to 2012
Overall, from 2004 to 2012, the rate of math and other students who worked in full-time jobs after cmpleting university courses fluctuated with a downward trend. In the same period, although the average salaries of math graduates and other graduates were the sam in 2004 and 2016, math graduate students earned more than other graduates from the year 2008 onward.
In 2004, the rate of full-time workers who were math graduate students stood at 80%, followed by an increase of nearly 5% in 2008, ending with a decrease to about 78% in 2012. the figure for other graduates witnessesd a significant growth from nearly 65% in 2004 to a peak of aroung 88% in 2006, the highest figure in the period.

Turning to the average salary of graduates, both groups were paid the same amount in 204 and 2006, at $41,00 and $43,000, respectively. The average salary of workers with math degrees grew gradually form $50,00 in 2008 to ,000 in 2012. Despite experiencing a raise, the money of employees with other graduate degrees can earn on average in 2012 was $51,000, $5,000 lower than that of workers with math degrees.
