The pie charts compare how much money was allocated to various areas by Springfield College in three different years, 1990, 2000 and 2010. Overall, it is noticeable that almost half of the budget was spent for teacher’s salaries, dominating in all three years, while the least spent on insurance.
In 1990, 40% of budget money was spent to pay teacher’s income, and this figure increased by 10 percentage points by 2000. However, this wasn’t maintained, falling to 45%, after a decade. With other staff’s salaries, however, the figure steadily declined from 28% in 1990 to 15% in 2010.
Regarding Furniture and Equipment, it was holding 14% of the share in 1990, although, in following two decades, it saw a considerable decline, only accounting for 2% and 3% in 2000 and 2010, respectively. These starkly contrast with the data for Technology, which was responsible for a mere of 1% and 3% in the first two decades, then increasing to a whopping of 20% by 2010, being the second most invested field.
When it comes to Insurance, it experienced a mere growth from 2% in 1990 to 8% in 2010, becoming the least spent area in all years. The figure for Books was accounted for 15% in 1990, then rose slightly to 20% before falling to 9% at the end of the period.
