Analyst Job Market, November 2026
The November 2026 edition: business, data analyst and US data scientist hiring, frozen from the live report.
On this page
Data frozen on 9 Nov 2026. This edition is a fixed copy of the report as it stood on 2026-11-08 and will not change. For current numbers, see the live analyst job market report.
Every figure below is a count, as of 2026-11-08, over 14,844 analyst roles at 1,842 companies, read from the companies' own careers pages across 26 sources and re-checked daily. Nothing is estimated or extrapolated; where the data cannot support a metric, the report says so. Definitions and method are at the bottom.
Key figures
14,844
Live analyst roles
Roles live on the board on the report date, read from company career pages; expired or removed listings are excluded.
1,842
Companies hiring
Distinct employers with at least one live role, after normalising name variants.
55
Countries with live roles
Countries where at least one role's location resolves; remote-only roles are counted separately below.
5%
Remote share
Roles whose location, or the employer's stated work mode, is remote. Hybrid vs on-site is not reported (see below).
3,574
Added in the last 7 days
Roles first seen on the board within the last 7 days: a recency count, not a trend.
20%
Roles that disclose pay

US Analyst and Data Scientist Hiring
5,834 of the 14,844 analyst roles in this report are in the United States, at 1,030 companies. A role counts as US when its listing names the United States, remote US roles included. Data scientist roles come from a separate list and are counted on their own below.
5,834
US analyst roles
Analyst roles whose listing country is the United States, remote US roles included.
36%
At employers with an H-1B record
2,077 US roles at 381 employers with at least one approved H-1B worker in the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub. That is the employer's history, not a statement that the role sponsors.
64
Postings that say they sponsor
US postings whose own text says the employer sponsors a visa or will consider it. 780 say they will not, and 4,990 say neither.
14%
Entry level
841 US roles whose stated experience is entry level (the board's seniority buckets).

Business analyst vs. data analyst: which roles are hiring
Each live role is classified from its title into a role family (the same classifier the job board uses). Titles no pattern matches are grouped as “other analyst titles” rather than forced into a family.
- Business Analyst2,080 roles · 14%
- Data Analyst1,556 roles · 10%
- Financial Analyst1,095 roles · 7%
- Operations Analyst565 roles · 4%
- Business Intelligence327 roles · 2%
- Product Analyst238 roles · 2%
- Marketing Analyst125 roles · 1%
- Other analyst titles8,858 roles · 60%
Percentages are the share of all live roles.
Skill demand: SQL, Python, Excel, Power BI, Tableau
Share of roles whose posting lists each skill. Base: the 10,062 roles (of 14,844) with an extracted tech stack; a skill is counted once per role. Because skills are extracted from posting text, every figure is a lower bound. Each row links to the live jobs for that skill.
Where the roles are: by country
Country resolved from each role's stated location. 1,210 roles (8%) name no country (“Remote”, “Global”, “EMEA”) and are excluded here rather than guessed. Top 12 of 55 countries shown.
- United States5,834 roles · 39%

- Mexico281 roles · 2%
- Philippines259 roles · 2%
- Germany255 roles · 2%
- Spain178 roles · 1%
- Malaysia159 roles · 1%
Percentages are the share of all live roles.
Where the roles are: by city
Roles whose location names a major city (GeoNames, population 200k+). Roles stating only a country or a small town are not shown here, so city counts understate the country totals above.
- Bengaluru, India945 roles · 6%
- London, United Kingdom516 roles · 3%

Experience level requested
Seniority read from each posting's stated experience and normalised into five buckets. “Not specified” is reported, not redistributed.

What this report does not claim
Some numbers people expect from a market report are not ones this dataset can honestly produce. Rather than estimate them, we list them.
- Hybrid vs on-site split
- Work mode is only recorded on employer-posted roles; scraped listings carry a free-text location. We report the remote share (detectable from the location) and nothing else.
- Hiring trends over time
- The feed keeps only live roles (closed listings are removed, not archived), so there is no history to chart from the live feed. Monthly editions freeze the report once a month; an edition compares itself with the previous one only where both exist, and gives no percentage change below 30 listings.
- Salary benchmarks
- Most listings state no pay, and the ones that do use mixed currencies and periods. We report how many roles disclose a range, not an average that a handful of postings would distort. The one exception is the US section: a median of the midpoints of US dollar annual ranges, shown only when at least 30 postings state one.
Methodology & definitions
- Source
- Roles are read directly from companies' own careers pages and applicant-tracking systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and others), plus roles employers post here directly. No third-party job boards are scraped, so listings are not duplicated across aggregators.
- Update frequency
- The feed is rebuilt every night, but this edition is not: it was frozen on 9 Nov 2026 from the live report and is never updated. The live report refreshes within an hour of each rebuild.
- Period
- All counts describe the roles live on the report date (2026-11-08). This is a snapshot, not a time series: closed roles are not retained, which is why trends are not reported yet.
- Sample size
- 14,844 live roles. Skill shares use the 10,062 roles with an extracted tech stack; country shares use all roles, with 1,210 unplaced roles disclosed separately.
- De-duplication
- One row per application link. The same role listed twice at its source is counted once.
- Role families
- Classified from the job title by pattern (e.g. “Senior Data Analyst II” → Data Analyst). The most specific pattern wins; unmatched titles are “other”.
- Skills
- Extracted from the posting text at scrape time and matched to the eight skills that have a page on this site, using whole-token matching (so “R” never matches a letter inside another word).
- Country and city
- Country is resolved from the location text with word-anchored matching (India is decided before any US state code). City is a match against GeoNames cities of 200k+ population; nothing is geocoded by guess.
- Remote
- A role whose location says remote (or work-from-home) or whose employer set the work mode to remote.
- United States
- A role is in the US when its listing country is the United States (remote US roles included). H-1B record means the employer has at least one approved H-1B worker in the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub; it is history, not a statement about the role. Only a posting's own text counts as saying it sponsors. Data scientist roles come from a separate list and are never added to the analyst totals.
- Salary disclosure
- A role counts as disclosing pay only when the posting states an unambiguous two-ended range with a currency. Single figures, “competitive” and ranges without a currency do not count.
The classification code is the same code the job board runs, and its rules are asserted by automated checks before every deploy. If you find a figure that looks wrong, the listings it was computed from are all public.
