Property and casualty insurers added 2,000 jobs in March, a month that is typically favorable for P&C employment, according to Insurance Information Institute President Robert Hartwig.

However, Hartwig says in an I.I.I. analysis of the latest U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor (BLS) Statistics that “the downward trend that began [for P&C carrier employment] in mid-2008 has not clearly reversed, although employment in March 2012 rose by 2,000.”
