With the constant changes in rules, regulations, SOA, why wouldn't there be a greater demand for auditors and jobs in the accounting industry?

Accounting is not as recession-proof as a lot of people think.
Sure businesses will always need to pay taxes and be audited, but the large amount of bankruptcies and takeovers have hurt business at many of the largeaccounting firms. The recession has also caused many business to be more unwilling to pay large auditing/tax fees so in order to win business, many of thefirms are forced to provide the same services at a much lower rate than before. All this = lower revenues = layoffs.
I'm not sure what's going on with the small/local CPA firms but all the Big 4 are having tons of layoffs right now. The current financial crisis hascaused Deloitte to lose major audit clients like Merrill Lynch, Washington Mutual, Bear Stearns, Ralph Lauren, and probably GM later on this year. Heads areabsolutely flying off over there.
This is coming from someone that will be joining one of the Big 4 in 6 months...

accy firms are definitely cutting down and laying ppl off.
had friends that got their offers retracted just recently, some from the big 4.
i know some people who are probably going to get laid off after the 4/15 tax day. rediculous
everybody is walking around with an anvil hanging over their heads

Gee - as an Econ major who graduated in december 2008 (basically 2009 right?) i wouldn't say things are looking all that promising.. i haven't evenreceived a call back yet on any job offers i've applied for.. which is probably over 100 now.
