Peraton Posts 150 Percent Rise in Data Scientist Job Postings in Virginia

Peraton posted one hundred fifty percent more data scientist jobs in Virginia in the last 28 days compared to the period before. This surge is unusual against the backdrop of a twenty nine percent fall in total data scientist job postings in the state during the same timeframe. Overall, there were fifty nine new data scientist job postings in Virginia in the most recent 28 day period, down from eighty three before.

The rise in postings at Peraton is a stark contrast to the broader movement in the state. Booz Allen Hamilton, another major employer in the region, saw a six percent rise in its data scientist job postings, adding one more posting than in the previous period.

This increase in job postings at Peraton may be attributed to several factors. The company could be expanding its data science team to meet new project demands. It is also possible that Peraton is actively recruiting for specific, high priority roles during this window.
