Legal Sector Jobs Hold Steady in November
The number of jobs in the legal sector remained flat in November compared with the previous month, even as the total number of jobs in the U.S. increased by 321,000, according to seasonally adjusted preliminary data released last month by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The BLS data shows that nearly 1.134 million people were employed in the U.S. legal industry in November. That's the same as the revised figure for October, and down from the 300-job gain the BLS previously reported for that month.
The legal sector has now lost an estimated 3,000 jobs since the start of the 2014 and employs nearly 2,000 fewer people than it did at that time in 2013.
The overall picture for U.S. jobs looks brighter, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 5.8% in November, according to the BLS data. In 2013 at the same time, the unemployment rate was 7%.
