Survey researchers will be in demand in marketing, research, and polling establishments to plan and design surveys and to analyze data. Continued adoption of data mining - finding trends in large sets of existing data - and collecting information from social media sites are expected to reduce the need for some traditional survey methods, such as telephone and in-person interviews. The use of big data in market research will reduce the demand for survey researchers to gather survey information, although these researchers will continue to be needed to analyze data.
