How much can you make as a Data Analyst in 2023?
3 min readSep 14, 2023
The demand for Data Analysts in 2023 is at an all time high but the competition is even higher! So is it still worth becoming a Data Analyst in 2023 ? — putting everything else aside, to answer this from a purely financial standpoint — I scraped 1000 Salaries reported by real Data Analysts working in the United States in 2023.
The Salary Numbers don’t lie!
The Median Salary reported for a “Data Analyst” position in 2023 is $100K.
Comparing this to the Overall Median Salary in 2023 as reported by the US Department of Labor which is at $57,200, Data Analysts earn almost twice as much.
The $100K number might seem high at first glance but note that the Salaries include Data Analysts of various levels of experience (from 0 to more than 15 years) and the salaries vary wildly depending on the location and company.
