Amid celebration over better-than-expected job growth in the overall American economy, the U.S. legal industry’s employment outlook remained mostly flat, gaining about 100 jobs in June, according to seasonally adjusted preliminary data from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Marking a modest increase from last month’s preliminary jobs report, the legal sector employed an estimated 1,124,000 people in June, according to monthly figures released Friday by the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
