How many data analyst jobs are open right now?
On November 14, 2026, the 859 companies we track had 262 data analyst jobs open, and at the companies we can compare over time that count is about one in eight lower than a month ago. The same companies listed 520 data scientist jobs and 294 data engineer jobs, so a data analyst opening is the rarest of the three.
The jobs were spread thin. They sat at 127 companies, and 81 of those had just one opening. Out of all 78,970 jobs on those career pages, data analyst jobs were about one in 300.
Here, a "data analyst job" is any job ad with "analyst" in the title next to a data word: data, analytics, product analyst, business intelligence (BI), insights, reporting or marketing analyst. "Senior Data Analyst" counts. So do "Product Analyst" and "Business Intelligence Analyst I." Financial, security, compliance, risk and business analyst jobs do not, because the work is different. A product analyst studies how people use an app, which is data analyst work under another name.
| Job title | Open jobs | Companies hiring |
|---|---|---|
| Data scientist | 520 | 178 |
| Data engineer | 294 | 152 |
| Data analyst (all titles above) | 262 | 127 |
| Analytics engineer | 117 | 74 |

Are data analyst jobs going down?
Yes, at these companies, for now. At the 322 companies we tracked on all six dates below, data analyst postings fell from 159 on October 14 to 139 on November 14, a drop of 12.6%. All the other jobs at those same companies went up 2.1% in that month, from 35,216 to 35,951.
| Date | Data analyst jobs | All other jobs |
|---|---|---|
| October 14 | 159 | 35,216 |
| October 20 | 162 | 35,485 |
| October 27 | 158 | 35,646 |
| November 4 | 135 | 35,802 |
| November 11 | 139 | 35,956 |
| November 14 | 139 | 35,951 |

Most of the drop came in one week, between October 27 and November 4. It was not one company having a bad day of data, because more than 20 companies had fewer analyst openings that week. Veeva Systems went from 11 analyst jobs on October 14 to 5, and Fivetran went from 6 to 1. A few companies went the other way. The New York Times went from 1 to 4 and Crypto.com from 0 to 3.
The jobs next door moved less. At the same 322 companies, data scientist postings slipped 3.4%, from 323 to 312, and analytics engineer postings rose from 72 to 79. An analytics engineer builds the clean tables that analysts pull numbers from, so it is the closest title to an analyst job that grew this month.
I read this as a soft month for analyst hiring at these companies, not a collapse. The counts are small, so a few teams closing roles can move the number a lot, and one month is too short to call a trend.
Which companies are hiring data analysts?
Wise has more data analyst openings than any other company we track, with 29, and 22 of them are in London. Wise is a money-transfer company, and most of its openings are product analyst jobs tied to one team, such as onboarding or fraud.

| Stripe | 8 |
| HP | 8 |

Most of these jobs ask for experience. 144 of the 262 titles say senior, staff, lead or principal, which is 55%.
Where are the jobs, and how many are remote?
119 of the 262 jobs (45%) are in the United States. India has 33 and the United Kingdom 28. By city, New York City leads with 35, then London with 25, then San Francisco and Bangalore with 17 each. Seattle and Toronto have 7 each.
40 of the jobs (15.3%) can be done remotely. That is a little higher than the 13.7% remote share across every job we track. In the United States, 21 of the 119 data analyst jobs are remote, or 17.6%. If you only want remote work, our list of companies hiring remote workers covers every job family, not only data.
What do data analyst jobs pay?
Only 17 of the 119 US jobs list a yearly pay range in the ad, so treat these numbers as a small sample. In the typical ad, the range ran from $145,000 to $180,000. Those are the medians of the low and high ends, so half the ads started below $145,000.
The lowest range we found was $112,000 to $168,000, for a CX data analyst at Harvey, a legal AI company. CX means customer experience. The highest was $200,000 to $300,000, for senior data scientist or analyst jobs at Polymarket in New York.
Those numbers are high because the companies that post pay are mostly startups in New York and San Francisco, where pay is high and some states make companies show a range. Our article on pay transparency laws by state lists which ones. For a wider view, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not count data analysts as their own job. Its closest group, data scientists, had a median pay of $120,230 in May 2025, and the agency expects that job to grow 35% from 2025 to 2035.
Are there entry-level data analyst jobs?
There are a few. 17 of the 262 jobs are for interns or new graduates, which is 6.5%. Thirteen are internships, at companies like Stripe, The New York Times, Riot Games and Applied Materials, and many are for summer 2027. Four are full-time entry jobs: an Associate Data Analyst at Sony in San Diego, a Business Intelligence Analyst I for new college grads at Applied Materials in Santa Clara, and associate analyst jobs at Mastercard in India and Analog Devices in the Philippines.
One tip from the titles: some analyst work hides under a different name. We found 69 jobs at 51 companies titled data scientist with "product" or "analytics" in the title, such as "Data Scientist, Product Analytics." At many companies those jobs are mostly SQL and dashboards, the same work a data analyst does. If you search only for "data analyst," you miss them. Our entry-level tech jobs article explains how we count junior roles across all job types.
What this count can and can't show
We count job ads on the career pages of 859 companies, most of them in software, finance and AI. That is a small corner of the job market, so these numbers say a lot about tech companies and very little about hospitals, banks or governments, which also hire many analysts. We count postings, not hires. One ad can fill several seats, and a filled job can stay listed for weeks. A title search also misses analyst jobs with unusual names, and it can catch a few that are not analyst work at all.
Of the 262 data analyst jobs open on November 14, 27 went up in the last 30 days, which is 10.3%, compared with 8.4% for every job we track.
