FINRA-Registered Representatives Entering/Leaving the Industry
Individuals entering and exiting by firm size may differ from the total number of individuals entering and exiting the industry as individuals registered with multiple firms are counted for each firm they represent, potentially in the same size class or in multiple size classes depending on the sizes of the employing firms. Large Firm = 500 or more registered representatives; Mid-Size Firm = 151-499 registered representatives; Small Firm = 1-150 registered representatives. An individual is considered to have left the industry when the individual has no open registration with any FINRA approved member firm from the date of their last registration through the end of the next calendar year.
