LinkedIn的8月份劳动力报告显示，对数据科学家的需求在全国各地都有所不同。这些技能需要超过15万人的国家短缺，特别是在纽约市，旧金山湾区和洛杉矶。有趣的是，2015年，全国数据科学家数量过剩；然而，随着越来越多的行业依赖大数据做出决策，数据科学在所有行业中变得越来越重要。

The demand for data scientists is off the charts across the country, according to LinkedIn’s August Workforce Report.

Interestingly, in 2015, there was a national surplus of data scientists; yet as more industries rely on big data to make decisions, data science has become increasingly important across all industries.
