Data scientist is the hot new gig in tech, says Fortune, which points out that: 

Stanford University's course on data mining is packed: More than 120 students registered last year; when it was first offered five years ago, just 20 signed up.

"That shows you the growth and interest in large-scale data mining," says course instructor Anand Rajaraman, who also runs @WalmartLabs. "Companies want these people, and they become more attractive if they learn the skills."

Fortune also highlights a McKinsey Global Institute study that says "by 2018 the U.S. could face a shortage of up to 190,000 workers with analytical skills."
