Northwestern Mutual announced today that they hope to recruit 5,500 financial professionals in 2013.
With a pestering unemployment rate hovering around 7.8 percent in the U.S., job creation has been a hot-button political issue and a slow-healing wound on the nation's collective psyche which is why Northwestern Mutual's announcement that an increase in demand for financial security planning which has spurred its highest-ever recruiting goal can be viewed as a breath of fresh air.
The announcement comes after a strong recruiting year in 2012 where the mutual company surpassed its goal of recruiting 5,000 financial professionals making it the second consecutive year that Northwestern Mutual has announced all-time highs for recruiting.
