Pay: The average pay for a bookkeeper in the Seattle area is $35,432, according to PayScale, a Seattle company that tracks compensation and benefits.

Need to know: Demand is projected to grow more slowly than average as the spread of office automation lifts worker productivity, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. But the large size of this occupation (2 million people work as bookkeepers and in related jobs) ensures plentiful job openings, including many opportunities for temporary and part-time work. Those who can carry out a wider range of bookkeeping and accounting activities will be in greater demand than specialized clerks.
