New York - New York Life Insurance Co. has launched a Web site called
York Life, including a streaming video of New York Life agents and managers talking about work experiences and why the company was the right choice for them.
A special section on women and finance focuses on personal financial matters, including guidance for small business owners and tips on saving for college or retirement.

"As an employer of choice for women, this New York Life Web site highlights the specific benefits of a career in the life insurance sector and why it may be the best career choice for women," says Mary Dean, vice president of the Women's Market division at New York Life. "Through the words of our agents and managers, women can learn that the career offers flexibility and the ability to make a difference in people's lives.
