How many agents work in Nebraska
The BLS counts 1,400 employed sales agents in Nebraska, which understates the licensed population because most agents are independent contractors. US Realtor List's Nebraska realtor list counts the agents with a published, current business email on brokerage rosters and licence registers, and prints that figure on its state page; the two numbers measure different things and the second is usually larger.
