Glad to be in the Canadian legal services industry

Friday's are for number crunching. A fast browse through the Layoff Tracker at Law Shucks paints a pretty dismal picture for those in the US (and some UK) legal services industry. These are the reported numbers - there are probably more layoffs that are not quite so public.


staff lawyers month totals

YTD 3259 2149

My heartfelt best wishes go out to all those in the breadline.
