Research
To design our Launch Tracks, and keep them current, we review the evidence on graduate data jobs in the UK: demand, pay, AI and how people get in. Here is what we found, with every figure linked to its source, including what the research does not say.
Our research
Start with data analysis, then build towards data engineering. Each review covers demand, the outlook and what employers ask for, and ends with what the research does not say and what it means for you.

Graduate hiring has fallen, but Skills England classes data analysts as in critical demand and employers worldwide expect data roles to grow. Our review of the latest research on data analyst jobs and AI.

Data engineering pays well and is growing as a share of UK IT job adverts, but few roles are open to beginners. Our review of the latest research on data engineer jobs, pay and entry routes.
Method
Advertising rules say claims must be fair and supported. We hold our research to the same standard.
We use only figures we could check in the original report or dataset, and link every one.
We say when a figure is global or from the US rather than the UK, and when it covers all experience levels.
Each review ends with what the research does not say, because good decisions need both sides.
We update the figures, charts and review dates when sources publish new editions.
