Counted October 17, 2026 · from employers’ own postings
Insurance: 2,136 open roles, 381 entry level.
Pricing and paying for risk — underwriting, claims, actuarial work, agents and brokers.
1,347 of these postings state no level; the entry-level count is over the ones that do, plus any that ask for a year or less and are not titled senior. Pay is the median of posted bands, in USD, only where eight or more roles posted one. Only open roles are counted.

What each pays, on its own page: Insurance Sales Agent, Licensed Insurance Sales Representative, Actuarial Analyst, Claims Examiner, Underwriting Consultant.
A role is the posting’s own title with its level, shift and schedule set aside, so “Registered Nurse – ICU (Nights)” and “Senior Registered Nurse” are one role. The twelve most posted; pay is the median of posted bands, where eight or more roles posted one.

How this was counted
Every figure here is counted from 2,136 open postings read from 256 employers’ own job boards on October 17, 2026, and recounted every night. Pay is the band the employer posted — never an estimate, never a model: a level shows a median only where eight or more postings carried one, and 955 of these postings did. Titles are grouped by the words the postings use, with levels, shifts and schedules removed, so one role is one row. The same counts as Markdown are at facts.md.
