The graphs below show the unemployment rate of citizens in the US with a further classification displaying average salary per week in 2005.
Summarise the data by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar chart illustrates the amount of unemployed citizens in the US due to their degree percentagewise along with the table which provides information about the connection between personal degree and average salary earned weekly in the year 2005. Overall, there is a strong relationship between the level of degree and the unemployment rate. It is clear that people with lower level of education are more likely of being unemployed.
Looking at the table in more detail, it can be seen that the person with professional degree earned the greatest wage (1800$), followed by 1740$ and 1560$ made by people with doctoral and master’s degree respectively, while the smallest salary got people with less than a high school diploma (538$). The figures for the US citizens with bachelor’s degree accounted for 1246$, compared to 840$ earned by Americans with no degree and 701$ made by people with high school diploma.
With regards to the bar chart, just above 8% of Americans with less than a high school diploma were unemployed and the unemployment rent decreased with the rise of the degree’s level until a tiny minority (just above 1%) of people who has professional or doctoral degree were classed as unemployed.
