The current financial crisis has created fears of unemployment, harder to find loans and failing mortgages. We can (and probably will) debate whether it is the fault of the Democrats, the Republicans, house flippers, greedy banks, not enough regulation, ignored regulations, or just too many “plain folks" buying houses they couldn't afford. Personally, I think it was the flippers and some of our “leadership’s” desire to bring the gift of home ownership to people who simply couldn’t afford it.
During my daily skimming of the internet, it dawned on me that Accountant positions are probably the most secure in the financial field. For individuals, whether you are losing your shirt (like last week), or buying stocks at a discount (this week, if you have the cash), somebody has to putting those numbers together for the quarterly returns and that annual contribution to the gang in Washington, D.C. who, we can all agree, are responsible for a significant part of the mess.
Texas Governor Rick Perry has announced that his state was in better shape than most, and I'm guessing that with a significant number of our visiting, low wage neighbors from Mexico working in the state are keeping business costs down. It's safe to say that Accounting Jobs In Texas are among the safest of "safe" jobs in the current (and near future) economy.
Texas has the second largest economy in the United States, behind only California; it has an annual budget of just over a trillion dollars. As of 2005, Texas had 58 of the Fortune 500 businesses residing there. While Texas has the same types of housing and mortgage issues that plague the rest of the country, it is a key energy source and distribution center for the country.
