The data for the male bachelor’s degree graduates are based on the 1991 Census of Population File linked to the 1991 to 2010 Longitudinal Worker File (LWF) and on CANSIM table 326-0021. This figure provides the observed percentiles of cumulative earnings between 1991 and 2010 for men who reported having a bachelor’s degree in the 1991 Census and were between 26 and 35 years of age at that time. The figure indicates a high level of variability in cumulative earnings among men with a bachelor’s degree in all of the fields of study.
