Abstract
With the development of big data, data science related positions are highly demanded in the job market. Since information science and data science greatly overlap and share similar concerns, this paper aims to compare them from the perspective of the job market demands in China. We crawled 2,680 recruitment posts related to data science and information science. Then we made a comparative study on these two domains about the skills, salary, and clusters of position responsibilities. The results showed that they had differ-ent emphasis on the skills, the qualification standard and the application ar-ea.
