cpatrendlines jobs report tiltbut why is hiring up and wages down?

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

accounting employment in most sectors once again hit new highs, according to new 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research.

gains over 5 percent were seen year over year in overall staff employment; cpa staff employment; women overall, at cpa firms and in payroll; payroll overall and staff numbers; and payroll staff hours. unfortunately, that last group saw their earnings swing down even more.

the 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 monthly jobs report has been following a decline in wages and a simultaneous increase in headcounts, which may signal a new dynamic at play in the industry. robert fligel, president and ceo of rf resources, the leading new york cpa firm m&a broker and executive recruiter, suggests several factors may be the cause. “i think firm are hiring more lower level people, like more new college grads; more home-grown talent; and the effect of outsourcing.”

in this report, 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 highlights:

  • current hiring trends in each of the bookkeeping, payroll, tax and cpa segments of the industry.
  • average hourly wages for key segments
  • typical hours worked per week
  • trends concerning women in the accounting workforce
