Job Opportunity Potential
There is a serious demand for people with data analytics skills, and it's projected to climb even higher in the coming years. Canada's Big Data Consortium estimated that in 2018, the overall national shortage of professionals with deep analytical skills was in the range of 14,000 to 19,000—and the shortage of data literate managers and analysts was about 150,000. The shortfall has not been fulfilled yet and the demand gap continues to grow.
