The Summer of Analytics!

[Sarah_Miller]

The end of the school year is here, and while its time to enjoy a break, we believe its a better time to brush up on your analytic skills!  According to an article posted by Bloomberg "Job postings for data scientists rose 75 percent from January 2015 to January 2018 at Indeed.com, while job searches for data scientist roles rose 65 percent".  That's a staggering number which seems to be increasing with every year that passes.

As a student, its important to act on this growing demand and make sure you have the skill set these employers are looking for.

Students graduating college who studied analytics and analytical tools are at a significant advantage over their peers who were not exposed to analytics and instead focused on more traditional learning.  For example, according to staffing agency Robert Half Technology, "Jobs like data scientist pay about $119,000 at the midpoint of salaries and rises to $168,000 at the 95th percentile".
