<p>When we last looked at <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2013/08/job-trends-for-statistics-packages.html">job trends</a> from indeed.com, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2013/08/job-trends-for-statistics-packages.html">job listings</a> for &quot;R statistics&quot; were on the rise but were still around half the volume of listings for &quot;SAS statistics&quot;. Three-and-a-half years later, R has overtaken SAS in <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-R-statistics-q-SAS-statistics-q-python-statistics.html">job listings for &quot;statistics&quot;</a>.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-R-statistics-q-SAS-statistics-q-python-statistics.html"><img title="Statistics jobs" alt="Statistics jobs" src="http://revolution-computing.typepad.com/.a/6a010534b1db25970b01b7c8d42886970b-800wi" border="0"></a></p>
<p>I added Python to the search this time; job listings for &quot;Python statistics&quot; have risen at a similar rate to those for R, but with a somewhat higher volume for R.</p>
<p>Since data science is popular job role these days, let's do the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-%22data-scientist%22-R-q-%22data-scientist%22-SAS-q-%22data-scientist%22-python.html">same search for &quot;data scientist&quot;</a>:</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-%22data-scientist%22-R-q-%22data-scientist%22-SAS-q-%22data-scientist%22-python.html"><img title="Data scientist python" alt="Data scientist python" src="http://revolution-computing.typepad.com/.a/6a010534b1db25970b01b7c8d42b23970b-800wi" border="0"></a></p>
<p>For &quot;data scientist&quot; jobs, R and Python track very closely, with Python just edging out R in the past few months. This is most likely because R and Python (but unlike SAS) appear together in many data scientist job listings.</p>
