Find Data Analyst Jobs in the Boston Area

It is said that not paying heed to history dooms one to repeat it. That is something all businesses hope to avoid, but that means having not only the right data but proper analysis of it in order to make business decisions for the future that take into account what has happened in the past and how well past decisions have worked out. For this to happen, a Data Analyst is needed to collect data and then process it so it provides a solid statistical analysis in a format that is understandable and useful. The data can go beyond sales figures and business data, such as market research and customer satisfaction. Skills commonly required include knowledge of Excel, Google Analytics, SQL and other specialized tools to gather data from varied sources.
