Let's look at 100 dots, with one dot representing one per cent of all respondents — approximately 18 people.

Slightly more than half of all people who answered the survey live in either the United States, the United Kingdom, or Canada.

The other half of respondents reported that they live in approximately 80 different countries from all over the world: Europe, Asia and Oceania, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Africa.

Most of the respondents are relatively new in the data visualization world. Approximately one in seven respondents said that they have been doing data visualization for 5 years or less.

Around half of all respondents reported having obtained a Master degree (or its equivalent) and 15 per cent reported having obtained a PhD.

Degrees in science, math and technology are the most popular ones among the data visualization practitioners, followed by degrees in arts and humanities, and social sciences.

15% of all respondents are working in the private sector. Those who majored in business or science, math and technology are more likely than respondents who pursued other degrees to work in the private sector.

One in ten respondents is working in the public sector. Respondents who specialized in social sciences are more likely than respondents who hold other degrees to work in the public sector.

One in ten respondents is working in non-profit sector. Those respondents who have degrees in arts and humanities, as well as in social sciences are slightly more likely to work in non-profit sector.

Overall, half of respondents identified as men, while 40% identified women, and 8 per cent identified as non-binary. There are twice as many men as women who had a business degree, as well as science, math and technology degree. The gender distribution is more equal among respondents who had degrees in social sciences and arts and humanities.

The vast majority of all respondents learnt data visualization by themselves, without attending a specialized education in data visualization.

The largest share of respondents reported an annual salary ranging between 60,000 and 70,000 USD.

While men and women reported approximately similar salaries, the share of men was higher among those respondents who reported an annual salary of more than 120,000 USD.

Around 30 per cent of respondents who reported their annual salary between 100,000 and 140,00 USD said that data visualization was the main focus of their job, a slightly higher share than those who said data visualization was their secondary focus or neither primary or secondary focus.
