Data Scientists
Data scientists investigate complex problems through expertise in the fields of computer science, mathematics, and statistics. These areas represent great breadth and diversity of knowledge, and data scientists will most likely have expertise in one or two of these disciplines and merely proficient in the others. Data scientist typically works as part of a team whose members will have knowledge and expertise in the other disciplines. Data scientists find and interpret rich data sources, manage large amounts of data despite hardware, software, and bandwidth constraints, merge data sources, ensure consistency of datasets, create visualizations to aid in understanding data, build mathematical models using the data, present and communicate the data insights/findings to specialists and scientists in their team. Data Scientists are in high demand. A McKinsey Global Institute report estimates that by 2018, in the United States alone, there could be a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions.
Computer and Information Research Scientists
Computer and information research scientists invent and design new approaches to computing technology and find innovative uses for existing technology. They study and solve complex problems in computing for business, medicine, science, and other fields. Most computer and information research scientists work full time. About 3 in 10 worked more than 40 hours per week in 2016. Most jobs for computer and information research scientists require a master’s degree in computer science or a related field. In the federal government, a bachelor’s degree may be sufficient for some jobs. The median annual wage for computer and information research scientists was $114,520 in May 2017. Employment of computer and information research scientists is projected to grow 19 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Computer scientists are likely to enjoy excellent job prospects, because many companies report difficulties finding these highly skilled workers.
Statisticians
Develop or apply mathematical or statistical theory and methods to collect, organize, interpret, and summarize numerical data to provide usable information. May specialize in fields such as bio-statistics, agricultural statistics, business statistics, or economic statistics. Includes mathematical and survey statisticians. The median annual wage for statisticians was $84,060 in May 2017. Employment of statisticians is projected to grow 27 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations. Overall employment of statisticians is projected to grow 33 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Businesses will need these workers to analyze the increasing volume of digital and electronic data.
