The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (Guardian) has recruited 237 financial representatives in the third quarter of 2012.
Although unemployment was down a tick in September to 7.8 percent, it is still a major concern across the country and the top talking point in the presidential election. Hiring by companies in the financial sector is an especially auspicious harbinger as it indicates that overall, Americans’ finances are stabilizing, allowing them to invest and plan for their retirement or other future financial planning needs.
Guardian’s hiring in the third quarter brought their total number of new hires for 2012 up to 683, keeping them on pace to reach their stated goal of adding 840 new financial representatives this year.
