Job satisfaction is critical for nearly every employee. Without it, individuals may eventually leave their current job in search of a better employer. Some job-seekers will look at a different company culture. Others may consider work-life balance or a company's diversity and inclusion initiatives. Though the insurance industry is undergoing rapid change and disruption, job satisfaction has consistently been cited as a reason to work in the industry. It follows that a joint collaboration between Forbes and Statista found that many of America's best midsize employers included companies in the insurance industry. Of the 500 employers listed, 33 were affiliated with insurance.
