Pasadena, CA — According to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the legal sector has lost 3,900 jobs in June. In the last twelve months, it has lost around 22,000 jobs. Last month, the National Association for Law Placement also reported that the class of 2010 was going to have lower employment numbers than the class before it. The exact figures will not be known till May 2011, when the institute's official report will be released. Law schools are trying out various ways to help their graduates.
