How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $100,300 (middle half $77,160–$128,310).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Data Scientist' but the work spans ETL/data cleaning, visualization, predictive modeling, and AI implementation — a genuine mix of data science (15-2051) and data/operations analysis (15-2031). 15-2051 was chosen as primary given the explicit predictive modeling and AI scope; 15-2031 is a close runner-up.
The visualization tool requirement lists Tableau, Qlik, and Power BI as interchangeable options ('at least one … e.g.'); Tableau is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
Python and R are listed as interchangeable ('Python or R'); Python is used as the primary name with R as the alternative.
Power BI appears both as a required visualization tool alternative and again under the 'Nice to Have' Microsoft Power Platform section. It is captured once under the required visualization skill (as an alternative) and separately as a preferred skill within the Power Platform context.
The role requires on-site presence 3–4 days per week in the Tidewater (Virginia Beach/Norfolk) area, so remote=false.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
