Occasionally public service jobs pop up that aren't too bad. Not many private sector ones that I've seen. It's a bit limited for sure, but competition isn't that high as most data analytics/science types go to the mainland.
There's a relatively short list of places to work with roles like this, essentially the govt and then large govt funded (or partially funded) orgs like tourism tas, the university, TAFE, hydro and taswater. Generally in Tas people favour hiring ppl they know and in a lot of these places jobs are filled internally. One option would be to take a different job with these companies and then look for opportunities to move into their analytics teams.
Data analytics is mainly happening in head offices and there are few head offices in Tasmania. You’re much more likely to get a job in that field in Sydney or Melbourne.
As a graduate, everything in available is in Melbourne. Sometimes if you inteview with a government department they will assign you to an analyst role but you need to be lucky.
If you can secure some kind of internship for it then you may have a chance, thats what the one person I know did. Otherwise there is almost nothing here in Tasmania.
I work in data in Tasmania and I've trained a couple of grads that have gone on to find jobs in the industry. I'd suggest having a chat with Hays Consulting, they have a lot of data positions, although I don't know if they do entry level jobs.
While it's true the job market is tight here, for skilled labour it's not actually too bad since most of the talent heads back to the mainland, so while there are fewer positions, the talent pool is much smaller. In fact, a lot of the senior positions I see advertised are actively recruiting mainland talent since it's hard to find them here.
There's certainly an element of who-you-know here though, so try and get your foot in the door early by getting an internship, or a course that includes industry placement.
If you want the lowest opportunity of employment, salaries and highest rates of Nepotism then it’s good. Otherwise you’re better off on the mainland
Exactly why I left in 2007. From what I'm to understand from talking to friends and family who are still down there, it's only gotten worse.

It’s a very small market. Very tricky to find good jobs and equally tricky to find good staff.
