Legal Occupations

Expand

The most recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2021) states the following about legal occupations:

Overall employment in legal occupations is projected to grow 10 percent from 2021 to 2031, faster than the average for all occupations; this increase is expected to result in about 131,000 new jobs over the decade. In addition to new jobs from growth, opportunities arise from the need to replace workers who leave their occupations permanently. About 110,000 openings each year, on average, are projected to come from growth and replacement needs.

The median annual wage for this group was $82,430 in May 2021, which was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations of $45,760.
