For that, we will only be using data gathered from job opportunities listed on our site, DataAnalyst.com - we're not using any external benchmarks, nor data points.

The usual average salary for an entry level data analyst is in the $73,219 - $90,992 range.

We are seeing over 90% of the positions allowing for at least a few days of remote working, with 61% of jobs being fully remote.
On the salary note, we can see that the ranges provided leave a lot of room for negotiations. Particularly it shows there's a lot of unknowns when it comes to determining the salary that company is looking to offer, and what the fair market rate for the role actually is.
That's a wrap for our August 2024 market summary report - you can expect the next edition in early October.
