The charts detail the proportion of Australian secondary school graduates who were unemployed employed or further education in 1980 1990 and 2000

The pie chart compares what Australian students decided to do after graduating from secondary school between 1980, 1990 and 2000.
Overall, there was an increase in the number of pupils in Australia who were employed when they finished secondary school, while the figure for those pursuing higher education and those who were in the state of unemployment witnessed a decline. In addition, the percentage of Australian students working in 2000 was the highest figure.
In 1980, half of the Australian secondary school leavers decided to continue their education, with a significant decline to around 38% in 1990 and a final 37% in 2000. Similar changes, despite a slight growth, can be seen in the figure for the unemployed, which went down from 10% in 1980 to 8% in 2000.
Conversely, the share of Australian students having a job after graduating from secondary school was at 40% in 1980, followed by a moderate increase to 55% in 2000, which was the only case.
