Legal & Compliance jobs

Even with employment projected flat, paralegal openings have consistently outnumbered lawyer openings each year, driven by turnover rather than growth. Roughly one in five lawyers works for federal, state, or local government, which makes public sector legal work a much larger share of the field than most candidates expect. Legal work concentrates in a handful of markets, with California, New York, and the District of Columbia leading on both employment and pay. That comes to 113 live legal & compliance jobs here, the largest share of them from Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys and the Office of the U.S. Attorneys; General Services Administration, Office of Human Resources Management; and Merit Systems Protection Board, and Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; and Dallas, TX carrying the most. Where pay is stated it runs $35k to $228k a year and 40% are federal positions.
