IRVING, TX--(Marketwire - March 10, 2009) - While the economy continues to struggle with the recession and jobs are being lost, AAA-Texas is adding more than 100 regular, full time positions in Texas and AAA-Texas is now taking applications for those jobs.

"We're very pleased that at this time when so many people are looking for work, AAA-Texas is expanding. We realize these are very hard times and we want to do what we can to help our neighbors in Texas, so the economy can grow and we get people back to work," says AAA Corporate Communication Manager Dan Ronan.

Within the next four months, AAA-Texas is planning to hire approximately 30 career minded sales professionals who will sell our membership and insurance products including auto, homeowners, renters, watercraft and umbrella insurance. Prior insurance experience is not required. Most of these jobs will be at District Offices in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
