Top Data Science Jobs in the U.S. and Europe (2022)

The three job titles that stand out are Data Engineer, Data Analyst, and Data Scientist.

There were more than 220,000 job postings for these three roles in Europe and the U.S., around 79% of all job postings we analyzed for this data digest.

Overall, there were no significant changes in the number of job postings for data specialists during the five months we have analyzed. In Europe, the highest number of job ads were posted in February. In the U.S., the highest number of job ads were published in April.

Out of more than 280,000 job postings we analyzed, 75% of job opportunities in data science were in the U.S.

Companies are mostly looking for mid-senior, associate and entry-level employees.

Regarding job locations in Europe, data science job postings in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Poland, and the Netherlands account for more than half (71.5%) of this region's data science job postings that we found.

The demand for data science specialists is high, but only a few most popular roles stand out in job postings. However, we see that the spectrum of data science career paths is expanding with new positions focusing on specific aspects of data science, such as natural language processing or data storytelling.

Natural language processing improves how computers understand and interpret human language.

Data storytelling helps turn the often difficult-to-understand data language into easily digestible narratives for specific audiences.

Although both jobs are essential for the accuracy and the accessibility of data that companies are using, we have found only 22 job postings for data storytellers in the U.S. and Europe this year and only 366 jobs for natural language processing engineers.

In comparison, we have found and analyzed over 97,000 job postings for data engineers during the same period.
