Legal sector jobs ticked up ever so slightly in September, regaining lost ground from the prior month but still lagging behind a five-year high water mark set in 2013, according to data from the U.S. Depart of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Friday’s jobs report showed 1,125,600 people employed by the legal industry last month. That’s 400 more than the agency reported in August, and it matches revised numbers for July. (The August and September numbers are still preliminary; all figures are seasonally adjusted.)
