<p>Based on my research, there does not seem to be that many jobs for actuaries:</p>
<p>“Job seekers are likely to face competition because the number of job openings is expected to be less than the number of qualified applicants.”</p>
<p>“Nonetheless, growth may be, to a degree, offset by corporate downsizing and consolidation of the insurance industry—the largest employer of actuaries. Life insurance companies, for example, are expected to increasingly shed high level actuarial positions as companies merge and streamline operations. Pension actuaries will also experience declining demand. This is largely due to the decline of defined benefit plans, which required review by an actuary, in favor of investment-based retirement funds, such as 401ks.”</p>

<p>“U.S. insurers and actuarial firms increasingly are outsourcing, offshoring, and importing actuarial talent from abroad, industry experts report.”</p>
