This map displays the distribution of job postings across the United States. The data shows that the majority of job postings are located in California, DMV, Texas, New York, and Washington. These Distributions change when the data is filtered by job title. For example, the majority of Data Scientist job postings are located in DMV, Illinois and Texas. However, the majority of Reinforcement Learning job postings are located in California, New York, Massachusetts and Washington. Hence different states and regions of the US are more likely to have job postings for different job titles.

This plot displays the distribution of job postings across different platforms. The data shows that the majority of job postings are located on LinkedIn, followed by ZipRecruiter, Upwork and AngelList. These distributions change when the data is filtered by job title. For example, Upwork has the highest number of Job postings for Neural Networks and Deep Learning and Karkidi has the highest number of job postings for Natural Language Processing. Hence different platforms are more likely to have job postings for different job titles.

These wordclouds represent the highest number of words used in the job description for each job title. The size of the word represents the frequency of the word in the job description. I was surprised to see that the word "Data" or "Python" did not appear in any of the wordclouds. The word "Experience" had a high frequency in all the wordclouds. The word "Machine Learning" had a high frequency in the Machine Learning wordcloud but it also had a high frequency in the Neural Networks and Deep Learning job descriptions as well since it lies under ML. Reports and Businesses appear more in Data Analyst job descriptions while develop and model appear more in Data Scientist job descriptions. This helped me in getting a clearer understanding and the differences between the job titles.

Out of the Total Active Jobs the companies in the above plot have the highest number of jobs posted. Note that Upwork was the highest in the company name column but it has been removed since it is a platform and not a company.

From the previous plot we can see that Booz Allen Hamilton has the highest number of jobs posted. A deeped dive into the job postings of Booz Allen Hamilton shows that the majority of the jobs are for the position of Data Scientist. The above plot shows the distribution of job postings for Booz Allen Hamilton by job title. As this is the company with the highest number of job postings, if you possess the skills required for the job, there is a higher chance of getting hired by this company.

Our last analysis shows that majority of the jobs posted are not work from home jobs. This is surprising since the pandemic has forced many companies to allow their employees to work from home, it is believed that this trend will continue even after the pandemic. But that is not the case and several companies are still not offering work from home jobs. Another concerning fact is that the majority of the jobs currently active are Full time jobs. This is concerning because many students like me who are in their first year of degree are looking for Part time jobs and Internships to gain experience and earn some money. But there are only a fraction of jobs that lie under that category.
