What is a Data Analyst?

Data Analysts are people who gather, clean, transform and interpret data using various tools. The data could be ranging from ride-sharing companies seeking to understand where peak bookings occur, to a nonprofit trying to optimize and improve the efficiency of its day-to-day processes. Data Analysis is an occupation and skill that is used across all industries which makes it one of the most flexible, well-paying and satisfying jobs out there. In the San Francisco Bay Area, annual salaries for a data analyst range from $88,000-$110,000. Learn more about Data Analytics.
