Q1 2025 Insurance Labor Market Study: A Glimpse into the Future of the Industry

As we step into the new year, the insurance industry is gearing up for another round of insights into its labor market trends. The first-quarter 2025 iteration of the Semi-Annual U.S. Insurance Labor Market Study, conducted by The Jacobson Group and Aon plc, is now open for participation until February 2. This study, which has been providing valuable insights since its inception in 2009, is set to offer a comprehensive look into the staffing outlook for the insurance industry in the coming months.

The insurance industry is entering 2025 with steady job growth and low unemployment rates, reflecting a positive outlook for the sector. According to Gregory P. Jacobson, co-chief executive officer of The Jacobson Group, this Q1 study will provide valuable insights on what to expect in the months ahead, helping insurers to review and adapt their talent strategies to remain competitive. Jeff Rieder, partner and head of Strategy and Technology Group Performance Benchmarking at Aon, expects the industry to achieve revenue growth in 2025 amidst more certainty in the economy, which should support investments in people and processes to support profitable growth objectives.

Carriers across all sectors of the industry are invited to complete the confidential survey, with all participants receiving detailed results of the study at no cost. The survey results and analysis will also be discussed in a complimentary webinar at 1 p.m. CST on February 13, 2025, open to all members of the insurance community. This webinar will provide an opportunity for industry professionals to gain a deeper understanding of the labor market trends and discuss how to best adapt their talent strategies to capitalize on the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

As the insurance industry continues to evolve, the Q1 2025 study serves as a crucial tool for insurers to stay informed about the latest trends and make data-driven decisions about their workforce planning and talent acquisition strategies. By participating in the study and attending the webinar, insurance professionals can gain a competitive edge in the ever-changing landscape of the insurance industry.
