Fifteen P&C insurance providers made the 2020 list of America's Best Employers for Women compiled by Forbes magazine.

According to 2019 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, just over half of insurance agents (50.6%) are women, nearly 82% of claims and processing clerks are women, 62% of claims adjusters, examiners and investigators are women, and 51% of insurance underwriters are women.
