- New Glassdoor/Indeed research shows US insurance claims adjuster job postings have fallen 55% from their post-pandemic peak, versus 36% across the broader labor market.
- Entry level hit hardest: junior adjuster postings are down nearly 50% since early 2024, compared with a 15% decline for entry-level jobs overall, while senior-level postings remain 80% above 2017 levels.
- Sentiment is bleak: 98% of claims-adjuster Glassdoor reviews mentioning AI (June 2025–May 2026) were negative; 81% across insurance.
- The article flags a pipeline risk: claims expertise is built through junior roles, and shrinking entry hiring could leave insurers short of experienced adjusters for complex losses and catastrophe surges. An Aon/Jacobson study finds 49% of carriers still plan to grow headcount, with claims among the biggest staffing needs.
