Analysts from the Jacobson Group and Aon have released data supporting that conclusion in summaries of results from a 2019 U.S. insurance labor market survey.

The number of insurers in the sample was not immediately available, but the average participating company had more than 2,000 employees, according to a survey slidedeck.
The participating life and health insurers ended up hiring more people in 2018 than they expected.
A year ago, 53% of the life and health companies said they thought they would increase staffing in 2018. Instead, 65% increased staffing levels.
This year, 65% of the life and health insurers said they expect to increase staffing levels in the coming year. Just 10% said they expect to cut staffing levels.
