Job Opportunities

More than 23 million jobs -- 17 percent of the civilian workforce -- are involved in some facet of American agriculture, making it the Nation's largest employer. The Risk Management Agency's (RMA's) job is to help ensure that farmers, on whom all this depends, have the financial tools necessary to manage their agricultural risks. In 2003, we provided farmers over $40 billion in coverage through nearly 1.3 million policies sold by about 15,000 agents and 14 insurance companies.
