The Big Data job boom


Everywhere you go, everything you do, you’re generating data, and so is everyone around you, Business2Community reports. Your mobile

phone usage, your internet browsing behavior, the way you drive your car, the number of times you buy turkey at the grocery store…all of that data is being collected and used by companies around the world.

But the explosion of data has also given rise to a tremendous need for skilled professionals capable of dealing with all of this information.
