How’s the Legal Job Market Doing?

As the stock market can’t decide what to do, you may be worried about the legal job market. How’s it doing? It’s still strong. Legal job hiring usually lags the economy and tech market; so, you won’t be surprised by an inevitable slowdown in the legal market. For example, after both the dotcom bust and the start of the Great Recession, employers continued to hire lawyers to close out their open headcount before the economy eventually caught up with them.
