Statistics Jobs

Statisticians are responsible for collecting, analyzing, and displaying data. They use this data and statistical techniques to advise firms on how to make smart business decisions. Their research has many practical applications in fields as diverse as business, medicine, farming, and engineering.

Statisticians usually work in comfortable office settings or from home throughout the standard 9–5 working day. Some statisticians, though, put in overtime to fulfill their deadlines. To oversee research projects, disseminate surveys, or gather data, statisticians may need to travel.
