We’re Number 1! Again!

In its annual Jobs Ranking report, Careercast.com has again rated “actuary” the number one job in the United States — a rank it previously held in both 2010 and 2013. This year, actuaries beat out 200 other professions by showing consistently high ratings in categories such as job satisfaction, hiring outlook and average pay. The profession’s continued growth is paralleled in the CAS membership, which now totals over 6,500 and saw the addition of 266 new Fellows and 453 new Associates in 2014. University students have also demonstrated an increased interest in learning about the CAS career path: CAS Student Central, the student membership program that provides numerous actuarial resources to college students, gained over 2,400 student members from over 350 different universities in its first year.
