📝 TL;DR

How It Started

As I am getting into data analytics, I wanted to figure out: which analyst path should I go for?

Data Source

15,000+ analyst job postings from Arbetsförmedlingen (2016–2024).

Skills Demonstrated

SQL, Excel, Tableau, AI assisted Python, end-to-end project design.

Key Findings

Digital Analysts make up the largest share of postings (38.5%), followed by Business Analysts (29.9%) and Data Analysts (15%).
The job market exploded during COVID recovery (a 100% surge in 2021-2022), but it cooled off in 2023–2024 as the market normalized and the economy weakened.
Half of all opportunities are in Stockholm, but Västra Götaland offers a stronger concentration of Business Analyst roles.
SQL is the most in-demand technical skill, and Looker and Python show the fastest growth.
