Depends on what you want to include. I went to the directory and checked how many members there were at ever company that I could think of as a large employer - if I missed any, feel free to add (numbers represent the number I found in the directory without considering all possible names, for example, I never looked for "Tillinghast", I just assumed that they used "Towers Perrin"):


Mercer is the largest employer of "actuaries" in the directory - SOA, EA, CAS, etc (967)
Towers Perrin (includes Tillinghast) is second (870) (101 P/C actuaries makes them likely the largest P/C consulting employer)
Watson Wyatt is third 605
Milliman 492
Hewitt 386
AON 325
ING 263 (largest life insrance company employer?)
Prudential 183
AIG 160
Aegon 157
Allstate 148
Metropolitan 137
New York Life 123
St Paul 119 (113 P/C, the largest P/C insurance employer?)

Either Tillinghast or Milliman could easily be the largest life insurance consulting employer - hard to distinguish life and pension consulting based solely on the directory.
