The Federal Government is a big consumer of math majors btw… this is a census year, you’re going to read a lot about how important data gathering and analysis is in terms of population trends and other demographic information. But virtually every agency- disaster relief, all the criminal justice functions (ATF, FBI, NSA, CIA). all the regulatory functions (SEC, IRS) need more and more sophisticated math skills. Never been a better time to love numbers…Every time you read about a sophisticated hack (credit card numbers, health insurance records, power plant shut down, a mass pedophile ring operating on the web using bitcoin to buy and sell images) you know another huge number of jobs have just been created for math majors.
