Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) May 13, 2008 -- The tough economic times have devastated many industries crippling employment opportunities. But, amidst this career malaise, professional and business related services are weathering the economic storm with projections of job growth, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In fact, from March to April of this year 39,000 jobs were added to the business and professional services industry. Hoping to score one of those business jobs, people are turning to online business degree programs to balance that pursuit with their lives. Finding the right online business degree program can be a challenge, but eLearners.com, a web resource offered by EducationDynamics, has nearly 1,000 online business degree programs from more than 100 accredited online colleges and online universities.

Business degrees are such a versatile option because it can lead into so many careers from marketing and sales to accounting, finance and consultancy.
"Many people are now re-evaluating their life and trying to figure out the best way to get ahead," said Terrence Thomas, Chief Marketing Officer for eLearners.com, the website leader in connecting prospective students with online education. "Business degrees are such a versatile option because it can lead into so many careers from marketing and sales to accounting, finance and consultancy."

At eLearners.com business degree programs are the most commonly searched programs with accounting the number one searched business term followed by management, human resources, finance and marketing.

And, making the leap pays. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, business and economics/finance graduates actually saw a 6.2 percent and 3 percent increase in average pay respectively.
