Recruiting is also heating up as the early stages of forecasted decline in future high school grads sweep the country.

The dynamic retail landscape, the emergence of new business models, and an increasingly demanding customer base- all challenge retailers to adopt new ways to remain relevant and competitive. The real challenge, however, lies in the fact that retailers are inundated with data and are pressurized to make data-driven decisions to gain a leading edge.
How bigger data is activating analytics | ITProPortal
It wasn’t so long ago that business analytics operated on a months-long cycle. For most of the twentieth century, the main interaction between a company and its data was a regular review of its most easily quantifiable measures, in the form of annual or quarterly financial assessments. Today, interacting with data this infrequently would be unimaginable in even a small business.
There are few industries which have not been lifted up by this rising tide of data. Access to and analysis of data is reorienting everything from customer service, to logistics and fulfilment, to product and software development – providing actionable insight well beyond the bottom-line of financial results.
The Secret to Data and Analytics Success Is…People
One of the most astonishing facts culled from the data and analytics field is the persistently high rate of failure. Despite the billions of dollars and millions of hours invested, the majority of data analytics projects simply do not succeed. There are many reasons for this, of course. Sometimes the technology is not up to par, and the data is almost always dirty. But arguably, the biggest factor is a lack of investment in people.
There's a growing realization that people are the key to data and analytics success. Of course, every organization that fancies itself to be "data-driven" would like to have more and better data scientists. It goes without saying they're investing in self-service tools so mere data analysts can hobnob with the data science elite. And let's not get started on the dearth of well-trained data engineers to build the pipelines that move the all-important resource.

Experts feel Giants are way behind the curve on analytics, trends
The New York Giants have won just 12 of their last 48 games and have become easy targets for so-called experts who love to kick teams when they are down.
But don’t blame these experts, blame the Giants. Blame general manager Dave Gettleman, who is bucking all of the modern methods teams have embraced when it comes to building their rosters, fortifying their organizations and getting an edge on the rest of the league.
The Giants, by admission, are and ‘old school’ outfit that seems to be run by whims and Gettleman’s inexplicable gambles. The NFL is a passing league and he is trying to turn the Giants into a running team and a team that stops the run. Unfortunately, he’s been largely unsuccessful in doing so.
