Career Opportunities

Business and financial occupations represent a good investment in a growing career field. ?The?U.S. Department of Labor in the Bureau of Labor Statistics?reports:

"Employment of business and financial operations occupations is projected to grow 8 percent from 2014 to 2024, about as fast as the average for all occupations, adding about 632,400 new jobs. A stronger regulatory environment is driving the demand for more accountants and auditors who prepare and examine financial documents. ?This median annual wage for business and financial occupations was $65,710 in May 2015, which was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations of $36,200."
