The job market for accounting is pretty wide. There are high-grade and low-grade accounting jobs. If you do the courses for the CA or CFA then you will be able to access the higher end of the accounting market. Just an accounting major will probably only get you into the lower level accounting jobs.
Finance is incredibly broad. It depends what job you are after, but generally the market is kind of tight since the GFC. Every alpha-male cunt and his dog wants to be an investment banker and they can't all be one.
Also you should keep in mind that choosing a specialisation based on whether one job market is easier or harder than another isn't a smart idea. If you don't enjoy what you're learning and have a passion for the job then you won't do well at either uni or in the job afterwards.

Agreed with everything you say here- and the key thing is that the market has become a bit tighter post GFC (and maybe GFC2/3?) so the competition is up, number of jobs on offer is down. If you aren't genuinely interested in it and have the credentials or personality to back it up, you may struggle in either field to land one of the better paid graduate roles. It's not so uncommon nowadays to hear of people graduating with a sub-$40k graduate position.
