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 Friday 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.
