Although there were more data science job openings than last year, it&#8217;s interesting to note that the position did not keep pace with openings in some of the other fields. This may be an indication that we are seeing &#8216;peak data scientist&#8217; and that skills are finally starting to catch up with demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Technology jobs make up 40 percent of Glassdoor&#8217;s top jobs in America for 2018, which is up from 14 last year.
