TASK 1 (MIXED CHARTS): New graduates
 |
Sample Answer
The provided line graph and bar chart illustrate the number of fresh graduates and the hiring patterns across five different categories in the United Kingdom between 1992 and 2002.
Overall, there was a general increase in the total number of new university graduates, despite a marked decline in the latter half of the period. Regarding employment patterns, those employed in professional careers consistently and significantly outnumbered their counterparts in other industries; however, this category was the only one that exhibited a gradual decrease. Employment in management and administration also declined, while clerical and secretarial professions, sales, and other unspecified careers recorded upward trends to varying degrees.
Looking first at graduate statistics, there were roughly 165,000 fresh graduates in 1992, and this figure rose sharply, reaching a peak of around 195,000 five years later. This was followed by a steep drop of 15,000, ending the period with 180,000 graduates.
Turning to the proportional distribution of employment, graduates working in professional fields had the highest share in 1992, standing at just below 60%. This proportion then dropped steadily by approximately 10% every five years, reaching 40% in 2002. Despite this decline, the professional sector retained its leading position throughout, remaining the field with the highest employment rate. Managerial and administrative careers also showed a downward trend, albeit to a lesser extent, starting at 20% in 1992 and falling modestly to around 18% in both 1997 and 2002.
By contrast, clerical and secretarial professions demonstrated a clear increase, with the figure doubling from around 9% in 1992 to 18% within five years. Thereafter, the upward trend persisted, though at a slower pace, reaching just under 20% by 2002. A similar growth pattern was evident in sales, which rose consistently from around 5% to 10%. Finally, the “other” category remained relatively stable throughout the period, fluctuating between 5% and slightly below 10%.
