The job market demand for data analytics professionals greatly outpaces the supply in virtually all industries. Individuals who can apply, interpret, and communicate data analysis to derive actionable business insights can garner high salaries even in entry-level positions and those with advanced credentials are often quickly promoted. Meanwhile, employers are increasingly recognizing non-degree or alternative credentials for those just entering the field.
