There aren’t very many jobs advertised for mathematicians? Why not?

Studying mathematics provides students with a broad range of skills and knowledge that are highly valued in a wide range of careers in the workforce. While the titles of most advertisements rarely use “Mathematician” the job descriptions often refer to “strong maths skills” or “well developed analytical and problem solving abilities”. It is these skills and abilities that employers are looking for in fields as diverse as Finance, Manufacturing, Transport and Logistics, Health, Advertising and Professional Sporting organisations. AMSI, in partnership with Deakin University produces a Maths Ad(d)s booklet each year that highlights the broad scope of opportunities that become available
with a mathematics background. Click here to download a copy of the latest Maths Ad(d)s booklet.
