How you should describe this graph will depend on the nature of your assignment.

For example:

If you are describing graph simply to prove that you are able to read and understand graphs, then you would provide all of the identifying information -- the maker, the purpose, the source of information -- and then summarize the information presented.

If you are describing the graph for a course in the design of effective informatics, then you would again provide all of the identifying information but then go on to talk about things like the colors used and whether a bar chart is the best way to visualize this particular information.

If you are describing the graph for an economics course, you would again provide all of the identifying information and then go on to interpret the data presented in the chart in the context of theories or other facts learned in the course.

Why don't you have a go at describing the chart and then share your effort with us, being sure to tell us why you are describing the chart so that we can you appropriate feedback? Good luck!

Hi EF_Simone,

Actually I start then I stopped because I do not know what should I write after

" According to statistics from Baum, Sandy, and Kathleen, 2004, the median earning and tax payment increased by the level of education. It can be clearly seen that the people who have professional degree paid the largest amount of tax in 2002 approximately 25,000 $. On the other hand people who have less than high school diploma paid the lowest tax approximately 4,000 $. "

then I do not know how to finish it ???

Great, I like what you wrote. If you had not written anything, it would have seemed like you were just trying to get out of doing your homework! :)

I think it is worth mentioning how interesting it is that there seems to be little difference in the incomes of people with bachelors vs. masters degrees.

I think it is also worth reflecting on the fact that statistics like the ones that underly this graph are ONLY statistics. Many millionaires have only high school educations. Nevertheless, this is great incentive for all of you students to tough it out and work toward a degree -- rather than stopping after high school.

Also, be sure to tell us the purpose of the essay. Why have you been asked to describe this graph? We cannot give good advice if we do not know this.

I'd say the number for the Master's degree is off. The bar clearly stretches to the $60,000 mark, so either the number or the graphic is wrong. So, check the numbers from another source to find out which one is right -- the label or the bar that it is attached to, because the two are not the same.
