Financial Specialists, All Other

What financial specialists, all other do
Financial specialists, all other, is a residual category for finance-related workers who are not covered by a more specific financial occupation such as accountants, financial analysts, loan officers, or credit counselors. O*NET lists titles such as bail bond agent, securities trader, and adjuster. The specialized O*NET occupations that map here are financial quantitative analysts and fraud examiners, investigators, and analysts, so the group mixes quantitative and investigative work. Because it is a catch-all, the tasks are not standardized and the entry route differs by job. It differs from financial managers, who direct financial operations. Bail bond agents are one example of the specialists grouped here, and the wage and employment figures for the group cover all of these varied jobs together.
Also called: Adjuster, Bail Agent, Bail Bond Agent, Bail Bondsman, Bank and Savings Securities Trader.

| Release | Median annual | Median hourly | Employment |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 2021 | $73,240 | $35.21 | 123,200 |

BLS does not design OEWS as a time series: each release pools three years of samples, and occupational classifications, area definitions and estimation methods change between releases, so a difference between two releases is not a measure of change over time. The figures are shown as published, side by side, and nothing is computed from them. See how often OEWS is updated.
