In many industries, you can quickly and unexpectedly be out of work when an economic recession hits. Whether it’s the housing bubble popping or the Covid-19 shutdown…circumstances far beyond your control can change things in the blink of an eye.

That’s not the case when it comes to a career in insurance adjusting. Insurance is a necessity in today’s society. Individuals rely on it, businesses rely on it, and banks and lending institutions absolutely require it.  

Losses occur regardless of economic conditions, and the country needs insurance adjusters to adjust these losses every month of the year. Hurricanes can hit at the same time as a recession. In fact, we’ve had a record number of billion-dollar disasters during Covid. Kitchen fires are unconcerned about economic shifts. Auto accidents occur as sure as the sun rises. All of that means insurance is here to stay, and so are the adjusting jobs that come along with it.  

College debt is at an all-time high. The average tuition at a university is $8,000 - $10,000 per semester. 

56% of adjusters do not have degrees. With an adjuster's license and some strategies from adjusters in the field, you can be well on your way to making more than a college graduate. 

If you’re considering a career as an insurance adjuster, you’re probably curious about earning potential. People are often surprised when they find out how much money independent insurance adjusters take home. That’s because, on the surface, adjusters enjoy a seemingly humble job: we dress business casual, often drive pickup trucks, and frequently can be found outside or climbing on roofs. The truth is, insurance adjusters can make six figures with the right tools and tenacity, even if they’re just starting out.  

To give you an idea of the earning potential with an insurance adjuster salary, look at major hail storms across the United States each year. A recent poll showed claims adjusters are paid between $300 and $350 per hail claim, which shakes out to between $900 and $1,200 for a full day of work. Or look at hurricane claims: at approximately $400 per claim, working six days a week, adjusters earn over $7,000 per week. And that’s on the very low end of hurricane claims. Depending on the fee schedule and loss, some claims can pay upwards of $1,500 each. Put simply, even rookie insurance adjusters can make six figures in a matter of months.

Covid has forced many industries to adjust their work from home policies. Insurance has also adopted new policies and most insurance companies now allow you to work from home. Enjoy the comfort of your home while working for an insurance carrier of your choice. 

Getting your license is the first step, but the work is far from over. Get knowledge backed by proven strategies that will get you on deployments and keep you working for the long term.
