What Indeed’s Job Market Data can tell us about Demographics and Trends in Data Science

Presented by Chris Lindner – Manager, Product Science at Indeed

Over the past decade, data science has exploded as a lucrative, high-demand career. During this time, we’ve seen rapid expansion in both the demand for data scientists, and for the number of individuals trying to get into the field. But what exactly does the title “data scientist” even mean? Who are these “data scientists,” and where do they come from? Are we becoming overly flooded with data science candidates? What emerging trends do we see as more and more jobseekers enter the market to meet this growing demand? Indeed is the world’s #1 job site. Using our data on job postings, searches, and resumes, I’ll try to explore the answers to some of these questions, and paint a picture of what the job market looks like today, and where it is going in 2020 and beyond.
