Insurance Career Resources
We already know that a career in the insurance industry is stable, rewarding and limitless.
It's time to share our knowledge, expertise, and guidance with those looking at a new career!
Whether it's a college student, or someone changing careers later in their life - we have resources to help perpetuate our industry!
Consider this:
Growth of the population in ages 0 to 14 and 65 and older has outpaced growth of the working-age population in the last 10 years. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau 2020)
In the last two years, the estimated number of independent property-casualty agents and brokers in the U.S. has increased from 36,000 to 40,000 (Source: 2022 Agency Universe Study)
Employment in insurance agencies and brokers has risen annually since 2010 (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
With stats like that, it's clear that we need to do more to attract the workforce into our great industry!
