The graphs below show the percentage of math graduates and all graduates who got full-time jobs after graduating from a university in Australia and also show the average salary of both these types of grads, from 2004 to 2012.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

Sample 1:

The provided line and table chart show a comparison between the statistics of full-time employment and average annual salary for graduates in mathematics and all majors in Australian universities between 2004 and 2012.

In general, math graduates performed better than graduates in terms of both average salary and full-time employment. Although the percentage of math graduates securing full-time employment remained stable, salaries increased over time for both math and general graduates.

To elaborate, approximately 60% of all graduates obtained full-time employment in 2004, while around 80% of mathematics graduates found a full-time job. These percentages rose by roughly 10% in the following two to three years. Nevertheless, the proportion decreased for both groups thereafter, and by 2012, the figures were nearly identical to those of 2004.

Regarding the average annual income, in 2004 the average annual salary for all graduates was approximately $41,000, which was also the same figure for math graduates. Over the following eight years, salaries increased for both groups, but the salaries for math graduates increased more than those for all graduates. Eventually, in 2012, math graduates earned a yearly salary of $56,000, while general graduates received around $51,000.

Sample 2:

The line graph illustrates the proportion of full-time workers with a university degree, divided into Maths graduates and all graduates while the table provides a breakdown of their income over an eight-year period. Overall, Maths graduates tended to have a higher employment rate and salary than their counterparts. While the percentage of full-time employees fluctuated wildly, the average income observed an upward trend over time. 

Regarding the proportion of graduates with a full-time job, in 2004, roughly 65% of the total workforce were fully employed, being moderately lower than their Maths counterparts, at 80%. Three years later, both groups experienced a similar increasing trend to over 80% and 90% respectively. However, while the percentage of all graduates climbed slightly to 83% in 2008 before a plunge to roughly 65%, that of Maths graduates decreased gradually to 80% till the end of the period. 

Concerning the average earnings, in 2004, both groups had the same starting salary at $41.000. Over the following eight years, Maths graduates recorded a more significant growth rate, with figures rocketing to $56.000 compared to a $10.000 rise to $51.000 of all graduates.   

Sample 3:

The graphs provide information on the percentage of math and all graduates securing full-time jobs after graduating from Australian universities, along with the average salaries of these graduates from 2004 to 2012.

Overall, the percentage of math and all graduates obtaining full-time employment showed a declining trend from 2004 to 2012. In terms of average salaries, both math and all graduates experienced an increase over the same period.

Regarding the graph, the employment rate for both math graduates and all graduates fluctuated during the period under review. Initially, in 2004, math graduates had a higher percentage of full-time employment at roughly 80% compared to all graduates at nearly 60%. The percentages for both categories increased steadily over the next 2 years. However, the proportion decreased for both groups thereafter, with math graduates consistently surpassing all graduates, and by 2012, the figures were nearly identical to those of 2004.

Concerning the table, both math graduates and all graduates experienced salary increases from 2004 to 2012. In 2004, the average salary for math graduates stood at $41,000, whereas all graduates earned the same amount. Over the following eight years, salaries increased for both groups, but the salaries for math graduates increased more than those for all graduates. Conversely, in 2012, the average salary for math graduates had increased to $56,000, while all graduates’ average salary was $51,000.

Sample 4:

The given line and table graph compare the full-time employment and average yearly salary statistics for maths and all university Australian graduates from 2004 to 2012.

Overall, it can be seen that maths graduates outdid graduates in general both for average salary and full-time employment. Also, while the proportion securing full-time employment remained relatively stable, the salaries rose with time for both maths and all graduates.

In detail, in 2004, about 60% of all graduates got full time employment, whereas about 80% of maths graduates secured a full-time job. Both the figures increased slightly by approximately 10% in the next two or three years. However, after that the proportion fell for both and in 2012, figures stood at nearly the same value as in 2004.

Coming to the average yearly salary, in 2004 the average yearly salary for all graduates was about $41,000 and the figure was the same for maths graduates as well. In the next 8 years, the salaries went up for both, but the salaries rose more for maths graduates as compared to the figures for general salaries for all graduates. Finally, in 2012, maths graduates secured a yearly pay of $56000, whereas graduates, in general, got about $51000.

Sample 5:

The provided line graph compares the proportion of graduates from math and other majors who could have a full-time job after their graduation from 2004 and 2012 while the table shows how their salary changed throughout that period of time.

Overall, it is readily apparent that the percentage of full-time employees graduating from the math department was always higher than that of others. Moreover, although all graduates experienced an upward trend in their salary, it was the ones from Math who got the higher amount of money.

As regards the line graph, around 80% of full-time employees in 2004 graduated from the Math faculty, which was 15% higher than the figure of one from other departments. Two years later, both data experienced a slight increase of 10%. After that, while the percentage of math graduates declined marginally to end at 80% in the last year, that of other graduates grew slightly to hit a peak of 85% in 2008 before dropping gradually to under 70% in 2012.

With regard to the table, both the salaries of math and other graduates started at 41000 dollars in 2004 and grew 2000 more dollars two years later. After that, however, that of math graduates was higher than others. In particular, a significant increase of 13000 dollars was witnessed in the former whereas there was a slow rise of 8000 dollars in the latter in the last year surveyed.

Sample 6:

The graphs illustrate the percentage of math graduates and all graduates who obtained full-time employment after graduating from universities in Australia, as well as their average salaries, from 2004 to 2012.

Overall, math graduates surpassed general graduates in both average salary and full-time employment rates. While the proportion of graduates securing full-time employment remained relatively stable, salaries for both groups increased over time.

In 2004, approximately 62% of all graduates found full-time employment, compared to about 80% of math graduates. Over the next three years, both percentages rose by around 10%. However, the proportions declined for both groups afterward, returning to levels similar to those in 2004 by 2012.

Regarding salaries, the average annual income for all graduates in 2004 was roughly $41,000, which was also the starting figure for math graduates. Over the following eight years, salaries increased for both groups, with math graduates experiencing a more pronounced rise. By 2012, math graduates earned an average annual salary of $56,000, while all graduates earned approximately $51,000.
