DALLAS, April 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As Texas continues to see the largest annual population growth nationwide¹ and is projected to see its economy grow by 3%², Allstate aims to bring an additional 1,850 sales positions to the Lone Star State. Allstate Insurance Company is seeking 150 small business owners, who are expected to hire 1,700 sales producers, to serve a growing and booming population.
