What Job Postings Tell Us About Demand for Data Viz
Summary
In a recent webinar hosted by best-selling author and higher ed journalist Jeff Selingo, Myra Gonzalez of Texas A&M University and Cat Truxillo from SAS talked about the rising demand for data literacy in today’s job market. They observed how the increasing ubiquity of data and technology across industries and job roles has led to a commensurate growth in the need for relevant skills — and for higher education to teach them. At one point, Selingo asked Truxillo what specific courses she was seeing an increased demand for in her role as Director of Advanced Analytics Education at SAS. To better understand this demand at the national level, we jumped into Analyst and pulled up US job postings from the past 12 months that mention the skill data visualization. Equipped with this insight, deans, department chairs, and others can make informed decisions on how to build programs that deliver relevant skills and learning experiences, so that learners can achieve their career goals.
