As a compensation analysis for an insurance company in Hartford, Connecticut, define the relevant labor market for insurance claims adjusters and for data entry clerks. Please provide support for your answer
The insurance claims adjuster has less openings and more salary
than the data entry position. Thus, we can safely assume that the
low skill/salary data entry has more turnover as compared to the
insurance claim adjuster.
In a competitive labor market where workers have the option of
switching jobs, a firm offering jobs which makes workers
unsatisified can lose their workers to other firms and would have
to make their package better to be competitive in the
business.
A claim adjuster requires more skills including licenses and
degrees thus justifying the higher salary.
