CONTRIBUTION TO STATE ECONOMIES
The insurance industry is a major contributor to state economies, providing employment, paying taxes and supporting community development. In addition, insurance company claims payments help ensure the economic security of individuals and businesses, and help sustain a number of related industries. The magnitude of these claims payments for major insurance lines is highlighted in the "Incurred Losses by State" section. Incurred losses are a measurement of insurance claims occurring within a fixed period.
