Task answer

The pie chart illustrates what Anthropology students from a particular university did after graduating, whereas the table gives their incomes after five years of work. Overall, the majority of students (over half) engaged in full-time work. Those who remained unemployed and those who took up part-time jobs comprised more than half of the remaining graduates. After five years, a significantly high proportion of freelance consultants and government sector workers earned the most. The highest percentage of graduates, 52%, did full-time work, followed by those who were part-time workers and unemployed at 15% and 12% respectively. Additionally, 8% of them furthered their education by going into full-time post-graduate study. Likewise, what 8% did was unknown. Part-time work with post-graduate studies graduates comprised just 5% of the total. Freelance consultants, who earned $25,000 - $49,999, were the least, with 5%, while 15% earned $50,000-$74,999, similar to government sector workers of the same income range. 40% of freelance consultants made $75,000-$99,999, the exact number as those who made $100,000 and above. This was not the same for government sector workers, who had 50% taking home a $100,000-plus and 30% making $75,000-$99,999. The biggest proportion of private company workers (35%) earned $50,000-$74,999. On the other hand, the lowest share earned $25,000-$49,999.
