US jobs and pay
Is it hard to get an analyst job in the US in 2026?
Short answer
Hard at entry level, less so with experience. 1,698 US analyst roles at 482 companies are live on realanalystjobs.com on 11 October 2026, and 286 were first seen in the last 7 days. Only 14% are tagged entry level, against 33% mid level and 25% senior or lead, so most openings want some experience.
How many US analyst jobs are open
1,698 live US roles at 482 companies, 30% of the whole board. 286 were first seen in the last 7 days and 1,190 in the last 30, so new roles keep arriving every week.
Employers with the most open: USM2 (48), Omnicom Media (47), AtriaGroupLLC (44), Anduril Industries (40), Mindlance2 (31) and Judi Health (29).
Why it feels hard
Most openings ask for experience. Entry level is 14% of US roles; mid level is 33% and senior or lead 25%. 29% state no level, and those are often open to juniors who read the requirements.
Remote is scarce: 9% of US roles are remote, so a remote-only search sees a small slice of the market.
| Level | Roles | Share |
|---|---|---|

| Mid level | 564 | 33% |
| Senior | 153 | 9% |
| Lead or staff | 265 | 16% |
| Not stated | 485 | 29% |
Seniority of US analyst roles (1,698 roles). The level is the one the employer states. When none is stated, junior, graduate and senior title words decide where possible.
What makes it easier
Search wider than one title and one city, and lead with the tools US postings ask for most: SQL (74%), Python (54%) and Tableau (35%).
- Apply to roles that state no level, not only those that say entry level (485 roles today).
- Look past Data Analyst: business, financial, operations and product analyst titles are open too.
- Use the pay that 53% of US listings post to target roles that fit your level.
