Europe is seeing a hiring jump in ship industry big data roles

Some parts of the world are investing more heavily in machine learning roles than others.

Europe was the fastest growing region for big data hiring among ship industry companies in the three months ending June.

The number of roles in Europe made up 20% of total big data jobs – up from 13.1% in the same quarter last year.

That was followed by Asia-Pacific, which saw a -3% year-on-year change in big data roles.

The figures are compiled by GlobalData, which tracks the number of new job postings from key companies in various sectors over time. Using textual analysis, these job advertisements are then classified thematically.

GlobalData's thematic approach to sector activity seeks to group key company information by topic to see which companies are best placed to weather the disruptions coming to their industries.

These key themes, which include big data, are chosen to cover "any issue that keeps a CEO awake at night".

By tracking them across job advertisements it allows us to see which companies are leading the way on specific issues and which are dragging their heels - and importantly where the market is expanding and contracting.

The fastest growing country was Hungary, which saw 14% of all big data job adverts in the three months ending June 2021, increasing to 7.1% in the three months ending June this year.

That was followed by France (up 1.5 percentage points), Poland (0.9), and Denmark (0.7).

The top country for big data roles in the ship industry is the USwhich saw 50.2% of all roles advertised in the three months ending June.

Some 7.1% of all ship industry big data roles were advertised in Budapest (Hungary) in the three months ending June.

That was followed by Atlanta (US) with 4.2%, Chicago (US) with 4%, and Copenhagen (Denmark) with 3%.
