The graph illustrates the percentage of math graduates and other graduates who secured full-time jobs after graduating from an Australian university, as well as the average income of these graduates from 2004 to 2012.

Overall, the employment rate for other graduates decreased significantly from 2004 to 2012, while the salary for both types of graduates increased gradually over the same period.

Math graduates maintained a relatively stable employment rate, starting at over 80% in 2004 and slightly decreasing to about 78% by 2012. In contrast, other graduates saw an initial sharp increase in employment from 65% in 2004 to nearly 85% in 2006, followed by a steady decline to 65% by 2012.

Regarding salaries, both types of graduates started at $41,000 in 2004 and rose to $43,000 in 2006. However, salaries for math graduates increased more significantly, reaching $56,000 in 2012, whereas salaries for other graduates were generally lower, peaking at $51,000 in 2012.
