New job postings for Data Scientists in the US rose by eight percent last week, with one hundred sixty one new postings compared to one hundred forty nine the week before. Overall new job postings in the US increased by seven percent.
The rise in Data Scientist postings may be due to several factors. Increased demand for data analysis capabilities could be a driver. It is also possible that employers are posting more roles as they expand their data science teams.
Looking ahead, it will be important to watch the posting numbers for Full Stack Engineers, which saw a significant increase of one hundred four percent. Postings for Product Managers fell by sixteen percent last week.
