Are there any place that I can find historical

[sunzhoujian]

number of actuaries?

For example, there are approximately 20,000 SOA member and 4,000 CAS member in US, however, I hope I can get a look at the historical number of this data, I think some people are retired, some people drop out of actuarial profession and more people like me are trying to get into this profession.

I want to know if the supply and demand is still right there...

Thanks a lot!

FAP Module 1 has a file that has history of SOA actuaries.

Posting to AO make it much more easier to join actuary.

This isn't quite what you want, but it's the best I could find on the SOA website:

Do credentials get revoked when actuaries die? I thought there was some kind of fee waiver for retired actuaries so that they don't have to continuously pay dues. If that's the case, would these people update the SOA on their qx?

:lol: Funeral directors make note of memberships of the deceased, and some will provide copies of the obituary notice to the organizations in question.

And wouldn't you want to be included in the SOA list of deceased members? I want to be there when my time comes. Just sayin' :)

If that's the case, would these people update the SOA on their qx?Until 2007, members who reached age 70 (and certain other categories of members) had their dues waived. Because these members paid nothing, the SOA had no way of knowing when they died, unless their survivors told us. Starting with 2007, the dues-waiver categories were changed to 90% waiver, so members age 70 and older must pay $60 generally. Those who do not pay (likely because they are dead) will be dropped from the membership rolls at the end of the year.

I can think of many other reasons why members of age 70+ might not want to keep paying their dues...please don't kill them all off Bruce!!
