room for data analysis, the importance of the analyst will
increase significantly. Today, there is an increasing demand
from many enterprises for such professionals. So what
skills are most in demand for a data scientist? A recent
analysis based on the relevant job advertisements on the
five largest job listing websites in the United States, such
as LinkedIn, reveals interesting findings.
The analysis was based on job descriptions for 20,000
vacancies of "data scientists" posted on five job listing
048 websites on a certain day in October, 2018. It was found
that in the "general skills" aspect, the first and second most
in demand skills were "analysis" and "machine learning",
more than 60% of the job postings required the two skills.
Processing data means finding out the meaning behind
things, this requires analytical ability. While machine
learning is to create systems to predict future performance.
The third and fourth most in demand skills were "statistics"
and "computer science". Again, no surprise. Even the sixth
most in demand skill, “mathematics”, is a relevant subject
in the field.
