How this req sits in the market our data

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 (5)
The degree requirement lists 'Bachelor's or Master's' with no equivalent-experience escape clause, so Bachelor's is treated as the minimum hard requirement.
Python, R, and SQL are listed together under Qualifications as 'programming languages such as Python, R, or SQL.' Python is emitted as the primary skill with R as an alternative; SQL is emitted separately as it serves a distinct function and is not truly interchangeable with Python/R.
Tableau and Power BI are listed as interchangeable visualization tool options; Tableau is emitted as primary with Power BI as the alternative.
The role could plausibly be classified as an Operations Research/Data Analyst (15-2031) given the consulting/business-analysis framing, but the explicit emphasis on machine learning, statistical modeling, and the 'Data Scientist' title tips the classification to 15-2051.
No compensation figures are provided beyond a general mention of a 'competitive salary and benefits package.'
