Occupational Trends
Nationwide employment of accounting clerks is expected to show little or no change from 2016 to 2026. Because bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks constitute a large occupation, there will be a large number of job openings from workers leaving the occupation. Thus, opportunities to enter the occupation should be plentiful, despite the slight projected decline in employment. Long-term projections for Georgia, from 2014-2024, have a 23% increase in accounting jobs. This will require an increased need for accounting clerk assistants.
