across the tax and accounting industry, almost all the jobs relinquished by men in the coronavirus layoffs have been regained by men. the jobs given up by women, on the other hand, are still largely vacant.
overall, the tax, accounting, tax prep, payroll, and bookkeeping sectors employed 1.02 million full-time equivalents in march 2020, before 70,000 layoffs hit in april. so far, the industry has re-filled all but 17,600 positions.
the accounting profession sector by sector generally looks slightly brighter, with most reporting headcount growth for the month – but losses for the year.
exceptions include the profession overall, which is taking a 0.2 percent dip, tax preparation services up for the year 3.3 percent, and bookkeeping, up 1 percent.
unemployment edged down to 6.7 percent in november, but the accounting profession saw few of those gains, with its only upticks coming in the payroll services sector.
after shedding 77,800 jobs in april, tax and accounting employers have added back 45,300 employees, but the total headcount has dipped again and remains down by 32,300 from the pre-covid level, according to the latest data reviewed by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间.
the payroll segment lost almost 15 percent of its jobs in the latest data collected by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research. in some consolation, though, those who are left are seeing record new earnings.

profession loses four years of job growth in the first month of the coronavirus recession, reversing years of steady gains.
by beth bellor
crushed by the covid-19 pandemic, the tax and accounting profession has fallen below 1 million employees for the first time in two years – way below, and that may be just the tip of the iceberg, according to 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research.
the tax and accounting profession was adding new jobs at a rate of 2.3 percent per year before the coronavirus outbreak, according to 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research.
but with a new recession looming, 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 estimates the profession could lose up to 100,000 jobs and take up to seven years to recover.
the latest data available show more than a million employees in the profession, and growing at about 2,800 new jobs per month. at the same time, wages are hitting record highs.
but with the coronavirus crisis threatening a new recession, 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 conducted a long-term, 30-year analysis, focused on the job losses caused by the dot-com crash of 2001 and the financial meltdown of 2007. from the analysis, 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 calculates the profession could shed up to 10 percent of its current workforce, and not fully recover for two to seven years.
