The Importance of Data Occupations in the U.S. Economy

The following report was published by the U.S. Department of Commerce on March 12, 2015. It is reproduced in full below.

The growing importance of data in the economy is hard to dispute. But what does this mean for workers and jobs? A lot, as it turns out: higher paying (over $40/hour), faster growing jobs.

In this report we identify occupations where data analysis and processing are central to the work performed and measure the size of employment and earnings in these occupations, as well as in the industries that have the highest concentration of these data occupations.
