What the Insurance Analyst family covers

Insurance Analyst covers 8 title codes arranged into 4 levels of responsibility. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.

Money titles are among the most portable in New Jersey government. The accounting, audit, budget and revenue series run in near-identical form at the state, in county finance offices and inside local civil service jurisdictions, which is why the same family often appears with both state and local codes. Requirements usually lean on a degree with accounting coursework rather than a license, and the CPA sits above the entry bar rather than at it. Promotion tends to follow the ledger: staff work first, then review of other people's work, then responsibility for a whole fund or program.

The ladder, ordered by pay

The Insurance Analyst rungs, listed from the best paid down. Note that the numbers in these titles do not run in pay order. In this family a lower number sits higher on the ladder, which is a New Jersey convention that catches people out when they read a title list top to bottom.

The distance from the bottom of Insurance Analyst 4 Rating to the top of Insurance Analyst 1 Life and Health is $80,510, an increase of about 132% over the entry minimum.
