Median Annual Pay of U.S. Lawyers
Good news! According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, median attorney pay has outpaced inflation by 17% over the past decade. From 1996 to 2006, annual pay in raw dollars rose from about 60K to 90K. During the same time period, annual pay adjusted for inflation rose from between 75-80K to about 90K.
For more salary information, take a look at some new resources in the CSO Library. We just received NALP's 2007 Associate Salary Survey and Starting Salaries: What New Law Graduates Earn (Class of 2006).
P.S. -- If you want to borrow resources from the CSO Library, please speak with Ray. Many of our resources have "disappeared" -- we purchase them so that ALL of you will have access to them. Thank you.
