They are typically retired judges, attorneys, or business professionals who have expertise in a particular field—such as finance, construction, shipping, or insurance. Others have backgrounds in engineering, scientific research and development, or health care. According to the Department of Labor, approximately 7,060 arbitrators, mediators, and conciliators work in the United States.
