The table illustrates the average wages of people whose jobs range from various sectors in 2004 and how they differ from the 2003 statistics. Meanwhile, the number of graduates who majored in these sectors was delineated in the pie chart.
Overall, there are five sectors in total: Finance, Public services, Transportation, Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Wholesale and retail trade. Among all, those who work in public services gain the most income, in contradiction to those in agriculture. This is disproportionate to the number of roll-ins, as the major of finance holds the last position.
In detail, alongside the downfall of agriculture, the average salary that comes with this job is quite unattractive compared to the others (40.000 dollars), which is not much of a difference from 2003. On the contrary, it is still a hot major, ranking second in the rate of graduates. The same practice also happened with manufacturing, while it takes up 20% of graduates but can solely receive a wage of 52,000 dollars.
Surprisingly, wholesale and retail trade witnessed a big transition in 2004, with a salary of 77,000 dollars, which changed 8.4% from 2003. In 2004, salaries in Finance and Transportation remained constant, with a rate of change of approximately 4% compared to 2003 and a substantial income of 83,000 and 81,000, respectively. This number is in contrast to graduates in Finance, as it was solely 5%, the least among the five sectors. Finally, as common knowledge, public services ranks first in the amount of salary, not ranging far from it in 2003.
In conclusion, it seems that Public services is one of the most potential jobs as it observed the highest income as well as graduations, while Manufacturing and Agriculture are entering their flop era.
