Job opportunities in statistics are projected to remain
favorable in the future. As the U.S. economy continues to produce jobs
using quantitative literacy and analyses, increased numbers of
statisticians are required. Colleges
and Universities need statisticians for teaching, statistical
research, and consulting. The private
sector needs statisticians in management, product quality,
medicine, pharmaceutical research, medical device research,
engineering, transportation, insurance, computer and data processing
services, risk assessment, and marketing. Government
agencies employ statisticians to design, collect,
analyze, and interpret data for planning and development services in
agriculture, labor, education, and the census, among others.
