Job Outlook for Trader
Powered by Glassdoor Economic ResearchTraders buy and sell securities with the intention of making small, frequent gains. They must be skilled in statistical analysis, critical thinking and communications. It is critical that they can tolerate risk and remain calm under pressure. Anyone can open a trading account, but most brokerages require candidates to hold a related bachelors’ degree in a related field. Job growth in trading is limited because increased regulation and automation is reducing demand for their skillset.
