Job Outlook of Financial Managers
Employment of financial managers is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2012. Growth is expected to be steady and will increase in line with the growth of the economy as a whole. However, jobseekers are likely to face keen competition for jobs, as the number of job openings is expected to be less than the number of applicants Candidates with expertise in accounting and finance, particularly those with a master's degree, should enjoy the best job prospects. Strong computer skills and knowledge of international finance are important; so are excellent communication skills, because financial management jobs involve working on strategic planning teams.
(9) Over the short term, employment in this occupation is negatively impacted by economic downturns, during which companies are more likely to close departments, or even go out of business- decreasing the need for financial managers. Mergers, acquisitions, and corporate downsizing also are likely to adversely affect employment of financial managers. (10)
The banking industry, which employs more than I out of 10 financial managers, will continue to consolidate, although at a slower rate than in previous years. In spite of this trend, employment of bank branch managers is expected to increase as banks begin to refocus on the importance of their existing branches and as new branches are created to service a growing population. As banks expand the range of products and services they offer to include insurance and investment products, branch managers with knowledge in these areas will be needed. (11)
Despite the current downturn in the securities and commodities industry, the long-run prospects for financial managers in that industry should be favorable, as more will be needed to handle increasingly complex financial transactions and manage a growing amount of investments. (12) Risk managers, who assess risks for insurance and investment purposes, also will be in demand.
Some companies may hire financial managers on a temporary basis, to see the organization through a short-term crisis or to offer suggestions for boosting profits. Other companies may contract out all accounting and financial operations. (13)
Computer technology has reduced the time and staff required to produce financial reports. (14) Financial managers who are familiar with computer software that can assist them in this role will be needed.

未知题型 The Price of Idleness1．Electrical devices such as CD players, vidoes and burglar alarms are consuming more energy in standby mode than when they are actually being used.2．Maria Sanchez and her colleagues from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, tested more than 50 small electrical applicances, from computers to doorbells, electric mowers, VCRs, and pool pumps. In the current issue of Energy Policy, they report that about half of all consumer electronics energy is used in standby mode. This costs American consumers ＄1 billion a year in wasted energy.3．The researchers say that while electronic devices are lying dormant(休眠状态),running their clocks, maintaining internal memories or displaying their settings, they consume aroud 40 terawatt hours of electricity in the U.S. every year--enough to power a city such as Chicago or London. Many machines use almost as much power on standby as when working. For example, it takes 15 watts to play a typical CD, but an average of 11 watts to keep it on standby. Satellite TV systems use 14 watts when active and 14 watts on standby. Given the long hours these systems spend idling, each uses far more power in standby mode than when actually working.4．'Bad design is largely to blame,' says Sanchez. In a separate survey of CD players last year, her colleague Wolfgang Huber found that two machines with similar features used 28 watts and 2 watts respectively on standby. 'For most products, we believe that standby power can be reduced to one watt or less,' says Sanchez.5．She backs proposals to set up a national labeling system to promote machines that meet this standard. Such a system could reduce standby power consumption in the U.S. by 50 per cent, says coauthor Alan Meier--more than 20 terawatt hours per year. Last month, electronics company Philips announced the launch of a device that can dramatically reduce the power used in standby mode.
