Who is hiring accountants?

I currently live in Michigan. I have a bachelor degree in accounting with combined experience of about a year or so. I'm not sure if I'm just not looking in the right places, but it seems accounting jobs aren't as booming as they said it would be in school. I'm currently unemployed (I know, join the club) and I am willing to relocate anywhere in the continental US for the right opportunity. I know I don't have an overwhelming amount of experience, but I think my personality and attitude can compensate. To save some time: I have utilized sites such as, but not limited to monster, hotjobs, careerbuilder, craigslist, mlive, michigan works, accountemps, and robert half. No luck with any of them. I have also applied to several corporate giants websites and no luck there either. Surely, there is someone out there that can let me prove myself. Does anybody have any leads or suggestions?

1. Move to California. I work for a large CPA firm and we have having issues finding enough qualified applicants.

3. I see you have a bachelors degree...why not pursue your CPA?
4. My company has headquarters in Washington DC. I understand that there is a shortage of accountants there because the stimulus bill has created a great need for accountants in the DC area. Also try the FBI. They always need accountants. Good luck. Larry (CPA)
