Accountemps just released unemployment rates for accounting related fields and the news is good (at least the stats Accountemps wants you to see are good). The U.S. unemployment rate currently stands at 6.1% and the rate for accounting related fields is a helluva lot lower.
The accounting field is highly industry agnostic. Great markets, shitty markets, old or new technology…accountants always find work.
Here are Accountemps unemployment stats for Q3 2008 (no need to panic):
Accountants and auditors: 3.1%
Bookkeeping, accounting and auditing clerks: 2.8%
Budget analysts: 1.1%
Financial analysts: 2.0%
Financial managers: 3.2%
Payroll and timekeeping clerks: 2.3%
Purchasing managers: 1.9%
