New job postings for Data Scientists in the US rose by fifty-seven percent, from five hundred eighteen to eight hundred twelve over the past twenty-eight days. This change is part of a larger increase in total new job postings across all roles, which grew by forty-six percent in the same period.
The rise in Data Scientist postings may be driven by several factors. Employers like Howmet Aerospace, JPMorgan Chase, and Booz Allen Hamilton added the most new postings for this role. The increase could also be influenced by demand in specific states, with Virginia, Michigan, and California showing the highest number of new postings.
Other roles also experienced significant changes in job postings. Product Manager postings increased by fifty-five percent, and Data Engineer postings saw a one hundred fifteen percent rise. Full Stack Engineer postings surged by seventy-seven percent, while Software Engineer postings increased by thirty percent.
