A recent study by Finoit examined 24,000 U.S. job listings to identify the most in-demand tech skills. Python and SQL, both essential for data science, topped the list with 24,000 listings each.
Cloud computing skills, including AWS and Azure, also ranked highly, with average salaries over $140,000. Traditional programming languages like Java and C++ were in demand, while emerging areas like quantum computing and blockchain didn’t make the list
