Job postings for data scientists in Texas saw a fall of sixty two percent in the last seven days. The state posted five new job openings for the role, down from thirteen the week before.
This change could be due to several factors. Employers like Ally, General Motors, and Solaris Energy Infrastructure each posted one data scientist opening. It is possible that these companies have fewer immediate needs for the role this week compared to last.
Other states also saw a decrease in data scientist job postings during the same period. Virginia posted twenty new openings, a twenty percent fall. Washington, D.C. posted seven, a thirty percent fall. California posted twelve, a thirty seven percent fall.
