The graph and the table depict the following information about math graduates and all graduates who got full-time job after graduation from an Australian university in a period from 2004 to 2012: proportion of full-workers and their average salary.
Looking at the grapf first, it is clear that percentage of full-workers holding a university degree had a positive trend due to the middle of the period, independent from wheter they are maths graduates or not. In 2012 the proportion of two types of students with a full-time work was the same. After 2012, the percentage of all graduates getting a full-time job started to decrease gradually while the proportion of students with a degree in maths getting a position of this type was quite the same during the whole second half of the period.
The table gives information about the average salary that graduates had during this period. In 2004 the average salery of these two types of graduates was the same and minimal. During the whole period, salary had only an increasing trend. Thus, the maximum of it was in 2012, but it was not the same for each category. Salaries had the same rate of growth during the first 2 years, but then the salary of maths ones started to grow more rapidly. The average salary of maths graduates increased by $15,000 (36.5%), while one for the second category raised by $10,000 (25%).
Overall, the figures had not significant differences during the period, but there is a trend connected with maths graduates. By the end of the period, their porportion in full-workers and their average salary was much more greater than ones for all graduates.
