What’s Driving the Demand for Data Scientists?

Data analytics is becoming mission-critical to more and more businesses. One of the biggest challenges they face: recruiting data scientists.

“I’ve got to believe that over the next few years, data analytics is going to be [extremely] prevalent. It’s like digital: everyone’s going to need to have a base level understanding of it.”
