Legal Field Is Nation’s Most Difficult Industry forJobPlcmnt Forum

Less than 1 opening available for every 100 working attorneys. For those who claim that "networking" and "hustling" is the cure for legal job woes, I ask, how can you fit 100 square pegs into 1 round hole?

I saw a movie that accomplished this with two gallons of water-based lubricant.

It looks like this is based on the number of jobs posted on simplyhired. I'm not sure that that is exactly representative of how lawyers find jobs.

There's a thread for this.

Unless you go to a T6 or a school of a very similar ranking, it's probably how the majority of law grads find jobs these days. Anything below the T6, and less than half of the class is getting a job through OCI. And even within the T6, there's probably plenty of people on Simply Hired...just not the majority. If you haven't been paying attention, the bottom 1/3 to 1/4 of the lower T10 schools are graduating unemployed. Their best hope is probably something like Simply Hired.

I'm pretty sold on the Simply Hired demographic being a representative sample.

Is the ABA Journal required reading for Foot Locker managers or do you just read it for fun?

I am sure that the number of jobs available for those who are this bad at research and logical thinking are quite low.

Less than 1 opening available for every 100 working attorneys. . . . I ask, how can you fit 100 square pegs into 1 round hole?

There is something not right about this......

Again, I am astonished that MTal's logical and analytical reasoning did not land him #1 at Seton Hall or wherever the hell he was.

I hear jobs at Foot Locker start out at $75,000 and if you work hard, you'll be manager in three years, making $180,000 pre-bonus.

The super-talented can get there in a year and a half.
