While U.S.property and casualty insurer employment has been on a general downward trend since mid-2008, the sector has not shed jobs since January 2012, and has added jobs in both March and April, according to an Insurance Information Institute analysis of the industry's April employment figures.

In April, P&C carriers added 800 jobs, bringing the sector's employment up to 526,300. This comes one month after the sector added 2,000 jobs in March, a month that I.I.I. President Robert Hartwig said is typically strong for P&C hiring.
