What the Securities Market Trader family covers
Securities Market Trader is a graded series in the New Jersey civil service classification plan, running 4 title codes across 3 levels.
Financial titles are unusually legible compared with the rest of the plan, because the duties track a professional body of practice rather than an agency's internal structure. That makes the ladders predictable, the qualification language consistent, and movement between departments straightforward. It also makes them one of the better-documented corners of the state payroll, since almost every department employs some of them, so the headcount and salary figures for these families rest on large samples rather than a handful of positions.
