Are R programmers in demand?

The fields of data collection and analysis, machine learning, and statistical models continue to grow as more businesses look to “big data” to help run their businesses and make informed decisions. Since R programmers know the ins and outs of a computer system that can collect, customize, and organize data, they continue to be in demand among employers. If pursuing this career, you may be able to increase your job prospects by also gaining experience and certification in a related language, such as Python, or in statistics or a related mathematical field.
