This year's Career Watch Arkansas magazine is focused on the finance career cluster. By highlighting important, far-reaching occupations such as brokerage clerks, financial analysts, accountants and many more, the editors of this magazine hope to provide its readers with a detailed insight to what the finance career options have to offer. This year, the magazine includes input from four industry experts that can help shed light on what it means to be working in this field through their personal experiences. 

Along with input from professionals in the field, the magazine also contains a list of over 800 occupations throughout the state, how many workers are in that occupation, what type of education is necessary to obtain a job in that occupation, and the occupation's mean annual wage. The editors of this magazine hope to guide readers to a successful path in whichever career field they choose.
