3 Factors that Will Alter Demand for Data Analysts Over the Next Decade

-
The World Economic Forum released an encouraging report for anybody interested in a career as a data analyst. They stated that data analytics will be the fastest growing profession over the next decade. This report is consistent with statistics compiled by IBM. Big Blue said that around 700,000 new data scientist and data engineer jobs will be created by the end of next year.

These types of economic forecasts tend to be reasonably accurate. However, it is difficult to cite them with exact precision. A number of conflating factors could reduce or increase the demand for data analytics jobs in the foreseeable future.

Here are some of the factors that could impact future demand for this rapidly growing profession.

The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . The nearest equivalent was cited as the Navy’s Littoral Com

Canada regulator seeks information from public on Rogers-Shaw deal

(Reuters) - A Canadian regulator on Tuesday asked for information from the public on telecom company Rogers Communications Inc's planned C$20 billion ($16 billion) purchase of Shaw Communications Inc to check for competition concerns.
