R and/or Python for coding, SQL Database/Coding for working with databases, Hadoop platform, and Apache Spark for Big Data are some of the skills required by data scientists whereas, for software engineers, the knowledge of software languages and machine learning expertise are required.

TOTAL NUMBER OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERS & DATA SCIENTISTS

The description of a software engineering program at a major University was compared with the job descriptions for software developers on the BLS site. These terms were comparable and we could assume that for completing the BLS Annual Survey, software engineers would have selected this category. The roles, tasks, and knowledge are comparable, so these numbers were used for software engineers.

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
In order to calculate the years of experience for software engineers in Arizona, we averaged the top 15 most recent job postings for software engineers on both Indeed and LinkedIn. The range was from two to 10 years, depending upon the responsibility in the company. The average on both sites was four years.

For data scientists, the years of experience are the national numbers calculated by KDNuggets based on a survey of 1001 Data Scientists on LinkedIn. Below, we have provided the details of our findings.

OVERVIEW OF THE DATA
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) updates its numbers annually. 2017 is the latest year for which the data is available, and the numbers of the employees were taken from the State of Arizona employment report of the BLS.
