How did we do it? We looked at the National Association of Colleges and Employers' "Job Outlook 2009" survey of employers to see what industries were hiring and which majors interested them most. Then we looked at the Bureau of Labor Statistics' "Occupational Outlook Handbook" to see what positions fell under both categories and were expected to grow between 2006 and 2016.

Keep in mind that not every employer in these industries will be hiring at the same level and that many factors can come into play during the hiring process, such as your location. Also, the economy's erratic behavior and the stimulus bill could give some other jobs a big boost. Still, these are 10 jobs that new graduates have a good chance of finding in 2009.

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