Employment in the U.S. legal sector remained largely unchanged in August, adding 100 jobs alongside modest employment gains posted by the U.S. economy overall, according to preliminary data released Friday by the U.S. Department of Labor.
The Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics issued its monthly report on the employment situation in various industries, showing that 1,126,300 people held jobs in the legal services industry in August. The figures take account of lawyers, paralegals, legal secretaries and other occupations within the legal sector. The data is seasonally adjusted and provisional, so BLS could revise it later.
