The industry experienced a 2.9 percent increase over 2011 with the introduction of 249,399 full-time equivalent employees this year.<\/p>\n<p>To reach these conclusions, CUNA pulled in sources like the NCUA financial performance reports and other reports that oversee hiring at privately insured <a title=\"Credit Unions Help Consumers Save\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vfcu.net\/2013\/02\/credit-unions-help-consumers-save\/\">credit unions<\/a>. CUNA Chief Economist Bill Hampel said that this gain marked a return to historic norms for credit unions. Full-time equivalent employees, which combine both full and part time employees, increased by 3.3% in 2006, 3.5% in 2007 and 2.1% in 2008, as mentioned in an article by Credit Union Times. \u00abHowever, full time equivalent counts decreased by -1.1% in 2009, fell by 0.4% in 2010 and recovered only slightly in 2011, with a 0.7% increase.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Credit Unions reported a peak figure of 244,245 full time equivalents. The nearly 250,000 from 2012 was a welcoming figure and represents the ability of credit unions to weather the recession. Hapel stated that postponing hiring was a strategy credit unions used to protect their net worth and bottom lines during the recession. Overall, employee gains means that credit union leaders are optimistic about the financial future.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Us<\/h2>\n<p>If you would like more information about <strong>how credit unions work<\/strong> or to join the team, not only as a member but as a committed employee, contact our Valley Federal Credit Union main branch at 956.456.3108.
