Starting and Building a Career in Data

In addition, a report from McKinsey predicts a shortage of between 140,000 and 190,000 people with analytical skills in the U.S. alone—not to mention another 1.5 million Managers and Analysts who will be required to understand how data analysis drives decision-making.
