Loss of Legal Jobs

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in 2008, the legal services section of the US economy (which includes lawyers, paralegals, and legal assistants) shed approximately 6,800 jobs.  In the first quarter of 2009, the legal services section has lost an additional 10,300 jobs.  It seems that with each passing day, another law firm announces additional layoffs or cost-cutting measures.  Source.
