Is Data Analytics Hard to Learn?

Because the skills needed to perform Data Analyst jobs can be highly technically demanding, data analysis can sometimes be more challenging to learn than other fields in technology. But with those challenges come rewards; with the current global shortage of data professionals, the role of Data Analyst is in demand, meaning higher pay and better job security. A 2017 IBM study forecasted that demand would rise by another 28 percent by 2020, an increase of 364,000 jobs (to 2.7 million), further heightening that demand.
