The given graphs illustrate information about maths and other graduates. One shows the proportion of math graduates and others who work for a full-time job after their graduation from a university in Australia. The table represents the average wage of these kinds of graduates in an 8-year period, culminating in 2004.
Overall, the percentages of students who graduated from maths that got full-time jobs maintained steadily during the period. In addition, the proportion for that of other graduates showed a downward trend over years. It was also clear that the average income of maths graduates made up the higher numbers.
In terms of full-time workers, the percentages of those who graduated from maths accounted for the majority, fluctuating between 80% from 2004 to 2012. In comparison, the proportion of other graduates surged from 60% to 85% by 2004, before declining steadily by roughly 65% at the end of the period.
Regarding average salary of each kind of graduates, the figures for math graduates and other graduates shared the same patterns from 2004 to 2006, 41,000 and 43,000 respectively. However, in the year 2008, the salary of math graduates was 50,000, which was slightly higher than that of other graduates, about 5,000. In the following years, the figure for maths graduates rose slightly to 51,000 in 2010, then went up significantly by 5,000 two years later. In 2010, the other graduates’ income ameliorated to 47,000, after which continued to rise and reach its highest point of about 51,000 in 2012.
