Jobs in the insurance and finance sector engage in developing and executing financial transactions. These might include the creation of financial instruments, sale of property, insurance against loss, change in financial asset ownership, debt activities, and the facilitation and brokerage of financial services. As a general service, financial professionals help pool risk, raise funds, leverage debt and credit, and purchase and/or liquidate property for consumers and corporate entities.

Although the financial sector took a huge hit during the recent financial crisis, employment prospects in the financial industry still remain strong. The unemployment rate (as of 2012) is still only 4.8%, which is well below the national average. Average earnings in the finance sector has been rising, and currently the average costs to employers for each employee is over $42/hour, when considering benefits and total compensation. The outlook is also relatively strong, as macroeconomic, global forces bring more consumers into the market for credit and financial goods, and as more complex financial instruments are more commonly used to mitigate risk.
