    Dear Tom H. C. Anderson,

    I was looking at your blog, Tom H. C. Anderson - More Than Market Research and I thought our Q3, 2008 Job Market Statistics, providing a comprehensive picture of the Data mining job market including historical comparison of the demand trends, median salary and salary distribution would be of interest to you.

    Please take a look at Data Mining Market Statistics ( http://www.odinjobs.com/Odin/marketstatcompare?id=7950&q=Data+Mining ).
    Better yet, you can compare Data Mining to another skill of your choice. You can also add variables such as location, role, and industry.

    Here is an example of SPSS vs SAS vs Matlab. (http://www.odinjobs.com/Odin/marketstatcompare?id=7951&q=SPSS+vs+SAS+vs+Matlab).

    Here is another example of how Vincent McBurney analyzed the data and created “How to kick start your Datastage career” (http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/infosphere/how-to-kick-start-your-datastage-career-27481 ).

    You can post a widget of the stats comparison on your blog or site or post any of the individual charts comparing Data mining to another skill to support any blog entry or article concerning the statistics.

    If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks.

    P.S: If you choose to use the data, apply your knowledge, analyze and create an exciting post, let me know about your blog entry and I can provide exposure to your entry from our site.

    What are the tools being used in this subject, does data mining mean SAS and SPSS being used or just Minitab.

    Arvind, not sure about the above. I’ve been using Clementine/PASW quite a bit for data mining.

    Think it is time to interviewed Dr. Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys, leading customer engagement and loyalty researcher.
