Jobs Website Sees Big Leap in Openings for Lawyers and Others in Legal Sector
Job openings in the legal industry jumped nearly 97 percent in December, compared to the same month last year, according to a jobs search engine.
The figures are from Simply Hired, the New York Times reports. The search engine has posted about 5 million job postings in all industries that are pulled from job boards and the websites of hiring companies, government agencies, staffing agencies and nonprofits.
A breakdown by occupation rather than industry shows a 76 percent increase in jobs for lawyers, judges and legal support staffers, compared to December of last year.
