Even with the modest increase in legal jobs for January, the decreases seen in November and December, -900 and -1600, respectively, paint a dismal picture.
The numbers have been up and down over the past year with some months showing modest increases, and others showing just the opposite. In fact, according to the report out from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, from February 2010 to February 2011, there has only been a total of 1,300 additional jobs in the legal sector.
If you compare that to the 1600 jobs lost in December alone, one might say the legal job sector is somewhat steady. In the overall economy, January saw new hires up in the mid-five figures (63,000) and in February, jobs shot up by a stunning six figures (192,000).
