The line graph and bar graph illustrate the variations in the number of new graduates and their employment status from 1992 to 2002.

In general, the chart demonstrates that there was a significant increase in the number of students graduating in 1997 compared to 1992, but this figure declined by 2002. Additionally, these recent graduates showed a greater inclination towards professional occupations compared to others.

According to the line graph, the number of college graduates in 1992 stood at 165 thousand. This figure rose to 195 thousand by 1997. However, there was a noticeable drop in the number of graduates by 2002, falling to 180 thousand.

Regarding the bar graph, professional jobs remained in high demand among these graduates throughout the three years. However, by 2002, the demand for professional jobs decreased by 10%. Conversely, there was a steady increase in the interest for clerical and secretarial jobs. In 1992, only 9% of graduates were interested in this field, but this percentage rose to 20% by 2002. On the other hand, graduates showed a similar level of interest in the managerial and administrative field, as well as other fields, in 2002 as they did in 1992 and 1997. While no graduates expressed interest in sales-related positions in 1992, this percentage increased by 10% in 2002.
