MogiUS Data Analyst Job Postings Rise 33%
Data Analyst, Data Engineer, and Analytics Engineer roles saw significant increases in job postings over the past 28 days.
By Daniel Okafor, Mogi Research · Oct 23, 2026
Job postings for Data Analysts in the US rose by thirty-three percent in the last 28 days, from four hundred to five hundred thirty-one. This increase is part of a broader uptick in related roles, with Data Engineer postings up thirty-five percent and Analytics Engineer postings up thirty-one percent.
This rise in Data Analyst postings could be driven by several factors. Employers may be increasing their focus on data interpretation and insight generation. Alternatively, the crawl may have captured more postings from employers who previously posted fewer roles.
The base for this change is relatively small. For example, the thirty-three percent rise for Data Analysts is based on just five hundred thirty-one postings in the most recent period. A few more or fewer postings could significantly alter this figure, potentially making the observed change appear as noise rather than a sustained trend.
