Data Science is fast becoming one of the most in-demand fields of employment in the United States and around the globe. According to Burning Glass Technologies, as of September 4, 2020, there have been 25,674 jobs advertised nationwide in the last 12 months at the post-bachelor’s level.
Aside from being a great job opportunity, working in Data Science is a highly rewarding career. Data scientists explore complex questions raised by ubiquitous bits of information shared in our everyday interactions with technology, commercial organizations, and each other. More than ever before, business leaders, scientists, government officials, social scientists, and even sports enthusiasts, are leveraging the actionable insights they gain from the work of data scientists.
More than number crunchers, data scientists draw conclusions that can change the course of a company, improve the way we teach, make a more efficient rocket, or lead to life-saving medical interventions.
