Despite current economic and social uncertainties, the insurance industry continues to grow as companies and individuals protect their income sources, property, and lives through policies with reputable insurance companies. This demand for insurance will continue well into the future, making an insurance career one of the most stable occupations.
People Need Insurance
Through the recession of 2008 and the recent pandemic, the insurance industry has held firm and proven to be both recession and pandemic-proof. So how has the insurance industry managed to survive during this crisis? Why have independent agents fared so well during the pandemic? Well, the short answer is that people need insurance. Most people consider car, home and health insurance to be mandatory expenses, and the safety net created by insuring their valuable assets – families, homes, businesses - brings a feeling of certainty in these uncertain times.
Other Reasons to Choose a Career in Insurance
If you’re thinking about pursuing a career in insurance, here are a few other reasons to help you make up your mind:
No Shortage of Jobs
Insurance is one of the practical necessities of life. Therefore, there will always be a demand for workers in the insurance industry because people will always need it.
A Stable Career
While other companies and industries have laid off employees, insurance companies are looking for new employees to join their teams. As a result, leading insurance companies continued to hire fresh talent even when the pandemic was at its peak.
