Bill and Account Collectors

Significant Points

• About 1 in 5 collectors works for collection agencies; others work in banks, retail stores, government, physicians' offices, hospitals, and other institutions that lend money and extend credit.
• Most jobs in this occupation require only a high school diploma, though many employers prefer workers with some postsecondary training.
• Faster-than-average employment growth is expected as companies focus more efforts on collecting unpaid debts.
