Texas also saw an increase in Data Scientist job postings, rising eighty seven percent from twenty three to forty three. Maryland experienced a rise of fifty two percent, with postings moving from twenty one to thirty two.
The surge in Michigan may be linked to activity from employers like Howmet Aerospace, which posted fifty three Data Scientist roles. Ford Global and Booz Allen Hamilton also posted roles in the state.
