Which Tech Job Is Growing the Fastest — and Is It Growing in Seattle?

Nationally, data scientist roles have the fastest projected US employment growth among common tech occupations at 34% from 2024 to 2034, followed by information security analysts (cybersecurity) at 29% — both far above the roughly 4% average growth projected across all US occupations, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Seattle is a plausible above-average market for both: Amazon and Microsoft’s heavy AI and cloud investment concentrates exactly the kind of data science and security demand this national trend describes, though no verified Seattle-specific growth percentage exists to cite directly.
