Among the reasons 2020 is becoming fodder for comedic banter and sarcastic memes: This year punctuated by lockdowns, mask-wearing, social distancing and economic turbulence — thanks, of course, to the COVID-19 pandemic — is an extra tough time to have to find a new job.

There also are resources to aid insurance pros in finding jobs. Consider the career-building site Zippia. Once again, Zippia has analyzed each state in the U.S. to determine which states are most welcoming to job-hunting insurance agents.
