Employment in the accounting and bookkeeping sector slipped by a statistically insignificant 800 jobs in August, to 922,400 people. That was barely a change from June’s 923,200-jobs level, and it represents the third straight month of declines. But it also represents the sixth month of year-over-year gains.
