By Andre Costa, Mogi Research · Oct 11, 2026
Data Scientist job postings in India fell sixteen percent last week. This decline saw postings drop from seventy three to sixty one. Overall, the United States saw a fall of twenty five percent, while Poland saw a decrease of twenty percent.
Canada experienced a rise of four percent in Data Scientist postings, moving from twenty seven to twenty eight. The United Kingdom saw a smaller increase, with postings rising two percent from forty three to forty four.
This decrease in India may be due to several factors. It could reflect a seasonal slowdown in hiring, or a shift in employer priorities within the tech sector. It is also possible that fewer companies posted Data Scientist roles in the region during this period.
