large, metropolitan cities and smaller,
but technology-centric areas. While
this proves to be a good approach, additional research yields results that are
interesting, informative and potentially
useful to anyone looking for a job in the
analytics field.
THE REALM OF POSSIBILITIES
One line of investigation is to use
LinkedIn to see where jobs related to
analytics can be found. While there
are many other job boards available
(e.g., general sites like Monster, SimplyHired and Indeed, as well as more
focused options like the INFORMS Career Center), this study used LinkedIn
as a proxy for the universe of analytics job postings. Using the job search
capability, it is possible to do a keyword search for all currently listed positions within a distance of a zip code.
While poking around using the Sutton’s
Law approach might be a useful start,
a more systematic approach seems
appropriate.
