Wilson, Allstate's CEO, only has offered clues as to what's behind the dramatic changes. A company spokeswoman didn't respond to a request for comment. In fact, Wilson's recent comments have appeared to understate the decline in Allstate agents. At a Feb. 15 investor presentation, he said, "Right now, we have a little over 10,000 agents selling for us. There's probably 35,000 people in total selling for us every day through those agencies." The SEC filing just three days later said the number of agents was 9,300 and the number of employees in their agencies was 21,700.
