Data analytics leaders are in high demand.

With so many different types of technology in use today—from artificial intelligence and natural language processing to digitized healthcare records and online learning—data analytics is growing at a rapid pace. Experts now predict that more than 150 zettabytes of data will need analysis by 2025, creating thousands of analytics jobs for those with the right skills. 

Job openings for data-focused positions currently exceed the number of workers equipped with the necessary skills. Employers are having a hard time filling those positions. The World Economic Forum’s Jobs Report (2020) found that data analysts and Big Data specialists are two of the fastest-growing jobs across industries in the United States. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates the job market for data-related roles will grow 31 percent within the next 8 years—more than three times the national average. 

Data professionals are commanding competitive salaries. According to the BLS, the median salary for a data analyst in 2021 was $98,230, with experienced candidates earning upwards of $165,000. As with any career, pay can vary substantially according to where you live and what industry you work in, with some major metropolitan areas paying 40 percent above average due to the high cost of living and availability of talent.
