Economic Modeling Specialists – New Lawyers Glutting the Market

EMSI: “Just how bad is the job outlook for lawyers? According to our quick analysis, every state but Wisconsin, Washington, D.C., and Nebraska produced more — in some cases, far more — bar exam passers in 2009 than the estimated yearly openings for lawyers in those states. The same glut holds true when comparing law school grads, via IPEDS from the National Center for Education Statistics, to the same opening estimates. And when you take into account nuances with the D.C. bar and how Wisconsin operates, there might not be any states with a shortage.”
