 Here is your update for Houston: Our unemployment rate is at 8.4% in Houston. Texas is at 7.4% and the Nation is at about 9.7% for August. The good news is that all indications are that we are coming out of this recession. The bad news is that employers are still very cautious about making a hiring decision.

We have seen a significant up kick in temporary and temporary to hire orders though. We are hitting record numbers for our Houston office in particular. It seems that a lot of decision makers are feeling less stressed to bring in interim help and this is a good time to alleviate all the extra workload most of us have taking on this year.

It is not uncommon right now to feel overworked and underappreciated. You may even be thinking of making a change, but are staying put until the economy improves. You are not alone. A lot of Accountants are apprehensive to go anywhere with the current state of the economy. BUT – don’t forget that a lot of managers have delayed hires for over 8 months now. All indications are that hiring for the last part of the year is going to pick up even more. Remember that as degreed Accountant you have less than a 1% unemployment rate. That means that 99% of Accountants are employed and the good ones are still hard to find and very sought after.

As always feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns or advice. I have been recruiting in Houston for 8 years now and love sharing my knowledge with others. My job is to help you accomplish your career goals. Some candidates are often surprised that I may tell them to stay put, because it does not make sense to make a move. I am here to help and guide you throughout your career. I look to foster long term relationships and hope that you will reach out to me when the time is right.

It is time for your Houston economic update tailored to you as the Accountant. Overall Houston is still doing better than the rest of the country. We have a 7.1% unemployment rate vs. a 9.4% nationwide. The hardest hit areas seem to be in manufacturing. Healthcare and education actually experienced job growth in May. It seems that homebuilding is starting to pick up and the price of oil is stabilizing around $70 a barrel.  The rig count is still down, but that will probably not last very long. There are a lot of equity companies out there buying up assets right now too (well, those who have the cash).

So, who is looking for Accountants? Personally I have seen a lot of positions in the non profit arena. Also, smaller companies that do not have the luxury of spreading their work out amongst 100’s of employees are still looking for talent.  In addition to that small to mid size CPA firms are always looking for great talent. In my opinion this means that things are getting better. Most of the companies I have worked with over the past 8 years have indicated to me that they have openings – they are just gun shy to hire with all the uncertainty out there. A lot of hiring managers have also indicated late Q3 and early Q4 hires. This year has definitely been an interesting one. From a business perspective I personally have tripled my sales from Q1 to Q2. This is all great news. I know everyone hopes to be out of this recession soon!!!!
