who were able to find employment fluctuated with a downward trend, with the former exceeding the latter both at the start and the end of the

period

.

Also

notable from the chart is that

while

the salaries for both types generally increased,

math

graduates

earned more than their counterparts over the

last

4 years of the

period

. Regarding the employment rate, the figure for

math

graduates

increased slightly from 80% in 2004 to a peak of 85% in 2008 before declining moderately to around 78% in 2012. Other

graduates

mirrored the same pattern, peaking at roughly 87% in 2006 but

dropping to a low of 65%

at the end

of the surveyed
