Across industries and sectors, most companies and organizations have realized the need to invest in Analytics and Data science capabilities in order to stay competitive and extract the most value (effectiveness and efficiency) out of their current operations. The market outlook for Data science and Analytics job growth is +36% between 2021-2031, much faster than the all-occupations average of 8%.
Large and small organizations also demonstrate different maturity levels when it comes to their data analytics competencies. While many need basic data cleansing and extraction (SQL queries), many are either experimenting with or fully operationalizing advanced data science tools like machine learning to "10x" their outcomes. Professionals are needed at all levels, from foundational data analysis to Innovation labs with the goal of experimentation. Data scientists with advanced graduate degrees are typically found in this more complex R&D or innovation work and at senior levels throughout Analytics functions.
