About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Q3 2024 Insurance Labor Market Study: Recruiting Difficulty Eases Slightly

By: via Business Wire

The latest iteration of the Semi-Annual U.S. Insurance Labor Market Study, conducted by The Jacobson Group, the leading provider of talent to the insurance industry, and Aon, a leading global professional services firm, found 86% of respondents intend to increase or maintain staff size in the next 12 months.

“The insurance industry remains relatively stable with modest job growth expected for the next year,” said Gregory P. Jacobson, co-chief executive officer of The Jacobson Group. “While recruiting difficulty has slightly eased, insurance unemployment is low and turnover is slowing.”

“As companies continue their efforts toward building a resilient business and workforce, underwriting, claims and other technical roles remain in demand,” added Jeff Rieder, partner and head of Performance Benchmarking at Aon’s Strategy and Technology Group.

Some of the study’s key findings include the following:

  • In the next 12 months, 52% of insurance carriers plan to increase staff and 34% plan to maintain their current staff size. 14% are planning to decrease their headcounts, which is 4 points higher than last year.
  • Underwriting, claims and technology roles are the industry’s greatest need. This is the first time in the study’s history that technology roles are not the most in demand.
  • Seventy-nine percent of companies expect to grow revenue during the next 12 months; this is 2 points higher than the January 2024 study.
  • During the next six months, 72% of companies expect most employees to work a hybrid schedule. Just 4% require employees in the office every day.
  • Recruiting difficulty has eased in eight of 11 categories; however, most positions remain at least moderately difficult to fill. Actuarial, executive and analytics roles are the most challenging.
  • If carriers follow through on their plans, the industry will see a 0.58% increase in employment during the next 12 months.

The insurance labor market study has been conducted semi-annually for 15 years. Collecting revenue and hiring projections from carriers across all sectors of the industry, it provides a valuable look at the insurance labor market outlook and hiring trends.

The study’s next iteration will occur in January 2025. To be notified when it opens, follow this link.
