The digital economy is related to the overall situation of national development, and the healthy development of the digital economy cannot be separated from the improvement of digital literacy and skills of all the people in the whole society, and the digital economy has become the new driving force of China's economic growth, which also puts forward a higher demand for the data literacy of college students. Nowadays, the traditional talent training programme for economics majors ignores the cultivation of technical skills such as data mining, data cleaning and database, resulting in insufficient data analysis ability of economics majors, which restricts the improvement of students' data literacy level. This paper takes economics majors as the research object, and discusses the problems and countermeasures of data literacy cultivation for economics majors under the background of "new liberal arts" from the three aspects of course group construction, course resource construction and teaching concept.
