The employment rate of US law graduates has fallen to 84.5 per cent, after falling for six years in a row, according to research from NALP, the Association for Legal Career Professionals. However, the total number of jobs obtained by grads increased in absolute turns. What helped create the fall in employment was the fact that the number of graduates is at an historic high.
