(ARA) - Good news can be found, even when the economy is down and unemployment rates up. The latest is that there are careers advertising for and hiring new employees. Now is the best time to earn a degree in those fields so you can take advantage of the opportunities.
One area showing a high interest in new graduates is accounting, because businesses are looking for professionals who can help their firms effectively reduce budgets in creative ways while still earning a profit, according to the Robert Half International 2009 Salary Guidelines, which also predicted a 3.4 percent increase in salaries for finance and accounting staff.
Not only is there demand in the business sector, but finance and accounting positions are found in government, nonprofit agencies and public accounting firms. Where you work and the availability of work depends on how advanced a degree you have.
