InsuranceJobs.com, the leading job and employment site for the insurance industry, reports an increase in job postings this past quarter despite a slowing US economy.

Insurance careers are currently in demand, reports Jay Rollins, president of InsuranceJobs.com. The jobs are often attractive, challenging and rewarding.  Many careers in insurance pay a good salary and/or commissions, while promising career security and growth potential.

Recent job numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics last April suggested a slight increase of 2.7 percent, from 2.21 million workers to 2.27 million workers across all sectors of the insurance industry from February 2011 to February 2012.

The increasing life expectancy and continuously rising population is helping the growth of the insurance industry. In addition, the growing use of technology is also transforming the insurance sector and creating new career avenues for job seekers, said Rollins.

Currently, the strongest demands from companies are insurance sales jobs, insurance agent jobs, claims jobs, investigator jobs and underwriter jobs.

Its user-friendly features allow you to easily find a suitable position as per your experience and salary expectations.
