The Jacobson Group and Ward Group announce the next iteration of the Mid-Year Insurance Labor Outlook Study. This study gathers valuable information on insurance industry labor trends and future staffing expectations. The survey begins on July 9, 2014, and closes on July 25, 2014. All industry organizations, across all sectors, are invited to partake. Participation is free of charge and the results are confidential.

In its fifth year, this survey provides a powerful analysis of current labor trends and future staffing expectations for the industry. “As the ‘war for talent’ heats up, recruitment is becoming increasingly challenging worldwide,” said Gregory P.
