Report: accounting, IT among jobs in demand

October
23

Despite the ailing economy and the rout in the financial sector, the nation’s job market is revealing bright spots where those with certain skills remain in demand, according to the 2009 Salary Guides from Robert Half International.

They include positions in accounting, information technology (IT) and administrative roles, the staffing company said.

Within accounting and finance, these positions are in demand: staff and senior accountants; public accountants; and credit and collections specialists. Within IT, Web developers; programmers analysts; and help-desk professional are most needed. Lastly, in administrative and office support roles, customer service representatives; data-entry clerks; and administrative health-care clerks and secretaries are sought, Robert Half said.

The recently released guides also point to modest overall salary increases for jobs in these sectors. Overall, IT salaries are anticipated to rise 3.7 percent next, while those working in administrative and accounting and finance positions can expect salary increases of 2.7 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively.

Free copies of the 2009 Salary Guides can be ordered by going to www.rhi.com/SalaryGuides or calling 800-803-8367. Downloadable pdf files can found at www.rhi.com/2009SalaryGuide.
