The Growing Field of Data Science

Big data, and data analysis, are revolutionizing modern business.

Data analysis is a combination of statistics and computer science. It can provide fact-based, hyper-targeted information to aid in making real-time decisions.

A large number of companies are looking for skilled analysts prepared to extract valuable information from a variety of data sets.

Here in the US, there are currently more than 150,000 open data analysis positions, and 1.5 million unfilled management positions. Each of these require data-savvy applicants across a variety of industries who possess a strong understanding of both prescriptive and predictive analytics.

The expanding field of data science offers a range of incomes, with the median advertised salary for big data professionals $124,000 a year.

All the power and potential of big data rests in the skillful hands of a highly qualified analyst.
