2017 The State of Data Science & Machine Learning

Kaggle has released its industry-wide survey of the state of data science and machine learning. Check out their report and download the data.


Some takeaways:

1. While Python may be the most commonly used tool overall, more Statisticians report using R.
2. On average, data scientists are around 30 years old, but this value varies between countries. For instance, the average respondent from India was about 9 years younger than the average respondent from Australia.
3. The highest percentage of our respondents obtained a Master’s degree, but those in the highest salary ranges ($150K+) are slightly more likely to have a doctoral degree.
