Abstract
Role, value and amount of data and related tools, technologies,
companies and professions in society is rising. Since the required
skills for data-related professions are predicted to experience
changes, and labor market mismatches create challenges for
stakeholders, this research focuses on changes in the required
tools and technologies for data-related positions. The presented
research defines trends and changes in frequencies of the tools
utilized in the data-related professions by applying quantitative
content analysis on collected data from job advertisements of
Finland, Denmark and Poland. The research findings show that
tools used in data-related professions experience significant
changes over time. For example, AI and cloud computing-related
skills, and SQL started to be required more, whereas Excel, SPSS
and similar tools are less expected from the candidates.
Furthermore, while R programming language utilization rises in
analytics related positions, Python is more common in positions
related to data science.
