Source: Survey of Public Opinion on Education 2019–2020. Notes: The figure shows boxplots of the distribution of the wage expected for persons with an academic or a vocational education background at age 30 or 50. The boxes show the first quartile (lower end of the box), median (white line), and third quartile (upper end of the box) in the distribution, respectively. The whiskers show the smallest/largest values in the distribution that are not considered outliers according the 1.5× interquartile range rule. For example, the median wage expected for persons with an academic background at age 30 is 7500 Swiss Francs, the first quartile is 6000 Swiss Francs, and the third quartile is 8500 Swiss Francs
