Lawyer Employment
Lawyers held about 735,000 jobs in 2004. Approximately 3 out of 4 lawyers
practiced privately, either as partners in law firms or in solo practices.
Most salaried lawyers held positions in government or with corporations or
nonprofit organizations. The greatest number of lawyers working in
government were employed at the local level. In the Federal Government,
lawyers work for many different agencies, but are concentrated in the
Departments of Justice, Treasury, and Defense. Many salaried lawyers working
outside of government are employed as house counsel by public utilities,
banks, insurance companies, real estate agencies, manufacturing firms, and
other business firms and nonprofit organizations. Some also have part-time
independent practices, while others work part time as lawyers and full time
in another occupation.
