Project Y, a new initiative to recruit young professionals to the insurance industry, is looking at New Jersey high schools and colleges for potential “high-quality hires.”
Danielle Priori of ADP/Statewide Insurance Agencies in Cedar Knolls, N.J., was recently elected as president of the New Jersey Young Insurance Professionals.
As a direct result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) – also known as ObamaCare – health insurance agent and broker commissions have been slashed by as much as 50%. Agencies have been forced to lay off employees, limit products and services, shift to other lines, and have seen significant drops in compensation.
