I'm not able to locate the exact statistics you've requested, so I'll
post this as a comment, and we can keep fingers crossed that another
researcher will be able to locate more specific information for you.

National turnover rates and statistics by occupation are currently in
the Bureau of Labor Statistics pipeline, and are projected to be
published in late 2002, through the Job Openings and Labor Turnover
Survey.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projections for the period 2000-2010
are shown as:
Employment
"Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks held about 2 million
jobs in 2000. Although they can be found in all industries and levels
of government, a growing number work for personnel supply firms, the
result of an increase in outsourcing of this occupation. Approximately
1 out of 4 bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks worked part
time in 2000."
Job Outlook
"Little or no change is expected in the employment of bookkeeping,
accounting, and auditing clerks through 2010. Virtually all job
openings will stem from replacement needs. Each year, numerous jobs
will become available as these clerks transfer to other occupations or
leave the labor force. The large size of this occupation ensures
plentiful job openings, including many opportunities for temporary and
part-time work, even though turnover is lower than for other clerical
jobs. Although a growing economy will result in more financial
transactions and other activities that require these clerical workers,
the continuing spread of office automation will lift worker
productivity and contribute to the lack of growth in employment. In
addition, organizations of all sizes will continue to consolidate
various recordkeeping functions, thus reducing the demand for these
clerks. Specialized clerks will be in much less demand than those who
can do a wider range of accounting activities. Demand for fullcharge
bookkeepers is expected to increase as they are called upon to do much
of the work of accountants. Those with several years of accounting or
bookkeeper certification will have the best job prospects."
