Band 8+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The two pie charts below show psychologists' employment after graduating. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The two pie charts compare anticipated and actual employment outcomes for psychologists after graduation across five sectors.

Overall, there is a clear difference between expectations and reality. While most graduates were expected to work in private clinics, in practice the largest proportion found employment in schools and universities. Several other sectors also showed noticeable changes.

In the anticipated chart, private clinics dominate employment, accounting for 68% of graduates. This is far higher than any other category. Hospitals and medical centres were expected to employ 13%, while schools and universities and community agencies were both predicted at 8% each. Only 2% of graduates were expected to work in other areas.

However, the actual employment picture is very different. Schools and universities became the largest employer, hiring 46% of graduates. Community agencies also employed a significant share at 26%. In contrast, employment in private clinics dropped sharply to just 16%, far below expectations. Hospitals and medical centres accounted for only 3%, while the other category rose to 8%.

In summary, many psychology graduates ended up working in educational and community settings rather than private clinics, showing a substantial gap between anticipated and real employment outcomes.
