Q1 2024 Insurance Labor Market Study: Industry Enters Year with Cautious Optimism

The latest iteration of the Semi-Annual U.S. Insurance Labor Market Study, conducted by The Jacobson Group, the leading provider of talent to the insurance industry, and Aon plc, a leading global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions, found 90% of respondents intend to increase or maintain staff size in 2024.

“The industry’s unemployment rate is stable and just 10% of companies plan to reduce their headcounts this year. However, insurers appear to be operating with a bit more caution in terms of hiring,” said Gregory P. Jacobson, co-chief executive officer of The Jacobson Group. “We’re seeing a shift in how companies are viewing their staffing plans, making the Q1 findings incredibly relevant to insurance leaders.”

“Companies appear to be in more of a holding pattern around staffing plans for the first half of 2024, as they evaluate growth plans and anticipate greater efficiency gains from technology improvements,” added Jeff Rieder, partner at Aon and head of STG Performance Benchmarking.

Some of the study’s key findings include the following:

  • In the next 12 months, 52% of insurance carriers plan to increase staff and 38% plan to maintain their current staff size. Technology, underwriting and claims roles are the industry’s greatest need.
  • Seventy-seven percent of companies expect to grow revenue during the next 12 months; this is 5 points higher than the July 2023 study.
  • During the next six months, 76% of companies expect most employees in the office at least one day a week (hybrid). Just 6% require employees in the office every day.
  • Recruiting difficulty has eased in five of the study’s 11 categories; however, most positions remain at least moderately difficult to fill. Actuarial, executive and analytics roles are the most challenging.
  • If carriers follow through on their plans, the industry will see a 1.21% increase in employment during the next 12 months.
