INSURANCE AGENT
Outlook
This occupation is predicted to grow more slowly than the average occupation. With the Internet, clients can do their own preliminary searches for policies and prices and then go directly to the company.

The sale of life insurance is down, but as the population ages there will be a demand for long-term care insurance and annuities.
