What the pay looks like

$120,230
Bottom tenth
$67,240
Top tenth
$199,130
The federal wage survey has no separate line for data analysts. The closest published group is data scientists, with a national median of $120,230 a year, a bottom tenth earning $67,240 or less and a top tenth $199,130 or more (2025 federal wage survey). People whose title is data analyst usually sit below that median, and moving into a data scientist title is the normal way to reach it.
