What Are the Job Prospects
in the Major Industries?
Accounting
According to the U.S. De­
partment o f Labor’s Bureau
o f Labor Statistics (BLS) ac­
counting em ploym ent will
keep pace with the average
for all occupations through
the year 2006. Companies
want more from their ac­
counting firms— more infor­
mation, more kinds o f infor­
mation, faster delivery o f in­
formation. That means there
will be a need for more ac­
countants. On the other hand,
the tendency o f a growing
economy to create new jobs
will be offset by increased
au to m atio n and h ea v ie r
workloads for proportionately
fewer accountants. In any
case, com petition for ac­
counting jobs will be vigor­
ous.

possible. Com petition has
forced banks to move quickly
and more creatively into mort­
gage lending, securities and
derivatives trading, and trans­
actio n s p ro cessin g . That
means jobs, if you have the
right qualifications.
Throughout banking there
