Statisticians are employed in almost every type of industry since the collection and analysis of data is often crucial to their success. For example, the medical industry is always searching for improved medical treatments. These can only take place with careful experiments that compare promising new treatments with current treatments. Statisticians work with medical teams to design experiments and analyze the complex data they produce. Epidemiologists and public health officials also use statisticians to help track the distribution of human health and disease, such as cancer incidence rates and outbreaks of infectious diseases such as flu or HIV.
Almost every government agency will use statisticians for various projects. For example, environmental agencies also employ statisticians to analyze the data on the abundance and location of plants and animals, on the spread of pollution from its sources, and on the possible effects of changes in human activities.
Statistics Canada also employs statisticians in order to determine the answers to social questions. This can range from unemployment numbers, exporting of goods, and crime rates. These data help guide government policy and these agencies provide them by surveys of households and businesses.
The marketing and consumer research industries also employ statisticians. Market researchers use both government data and their own surveys to answer questions on various consumer tastes. Statisticians design the elaborate surveys that gather data for both public and private use.
Statisticians can also work in the academic environment, teaching statistics, probability theory, or actuarial science at the university level while doing research. Graduates can also get an additional teaching degree and teach mathematics at the high school level.
A background in statistics can also be used for further studies in mathematics, law, actuarial science, economics, and business. It can also be combined with another degree in science or arts to enhance your employability in that other field.
