There will continue to be strong demand for students with CPA certification and Masters level education in Accounting.The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts the demand for Accountants and Auditors to grow by 20% in Texas by 2030 (Career One Stop, U.S. Department of Labor, 2023).

The accounting field is projected to have a large number of annual job openings for accountants and auditors in the state of Texas at 12,990. Growth in the Houston area is likely to exceed that average because of its differential economy when compared with other cities in the nation. In 2022, Houston had the highest median wage for accountants of any city in Texas ($79,550 annually). The Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates new job opportunities are very likely in the future and projected to have a large number of job openings.
