Is property and casualty insurance a good career?

By the main federal measures, the occupation pays above the national median and offers steady openings: insurance sales agents earned a median wage of $62,280 in May 2025 versus $50,980 for all U.S. occupations, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 43,100 openings each year through 2035. Employment is projected to grow 3% from 2025 to 2035, about as fast as average. Income depends heavily on sales, since commissions are the most common form of pay.
