Main Content
Statisticians make meaning from data using a combination of mathematics and design thinking. Studies from several independent sources identify statistics as a critical area in which demand for skilled knowledge workers will expand dramatically and quickly. The US Bureau of Labor predicts that employment will grow 30% by 2028, and reports median annual wage of $86,630 in Illinois. The Bureau also reports that these jobs are disproportionately concentrated in Illinois, with a location quotient of 1.10. Meanwhile US News and World Report ranks “Statistician” the #6 best job, with above average upward mobility and flexibility and below average stress.
