My 2 cents.

Pretty stable at the macro level. The demand for accounting jobs is increasing and the number of people going into it is decreasing. Perform well and there are plenty of jobs over the long term.

At the micro level there will always be companies that do poorly and may need to pay people off. There will also be companies that grow, but not fast enough to make it easy for you to be promoted without jumping to another company. Some years it will be we easier to jump ship and get a raise than others.

Is the industry changing with automation and outsourcing. Yes, but not enough to be of concern if you are a good employee.
