The given pie charts show what male and female graduates value most when they are finding a job. Each pie chart is composed of many elements, including office location, working environment, interest and challenge in work, salary and benefits, weekends conditions, job stability, promotion opportunities and other factors.
Let’s first take a look at the main features. From the two pie charts, we can apparently find that both groups consider salary and benefits and promotion opportunities as the most decisive factors when seeking for a job. The factor salary and benefits accounts for 28.35% in male graduates’ pie chart and 24.26% in female graduates’ pie chart while the factor promotion opportunities takes up 22.37% in the former and 26.03% in the latter. Also, it’s not difficult to identify that the least concerned factors are working environment, weekend conditions, office location and other factors, as they only account for a small piece in both pie chart. More specifically, the factor working environment, weekends conditions, office location and other factors show the data 7.23%, 5.28%, 5.66% and 2.73%. Similarly, the data in female graduates’ pie chart is 8.94%, 6.78%, 6.01% and 1.84% arranging in the same order.
Despite the common main features, there are still some remarkable differences between male graduates’ pie chart and female graduates’ pie chart, which indicate gender differences in the job hunting. Interest and challenge in work and work stability are the two factors that exhibit great differences. The factor interest and challenge in work is the third most concerned factor in male graduates’ mind while it is only the fifth concerned factor in female graduates’ pie chart. When it comes to job stability, the gender differences are remarkable too, as the data of female graduates is 17.62%, making it the third most vital factor, while male graduates’ data is only 8.82%.
