I was rocked like by a hurricane, thus the post's tardiness.
There was a modest increase over September 2012, but given the gummint's penchant for revising initial numbers by thousands, it might was well be random. Year-over-year netted 6,600 positions but consider this: the legal profession industry boasted 1,115,900 jobs in October 2010, giving an anemic two-year growth of 5,700 jobs.
If you want to bet $200K on strong, sustained growth in the legal market, be my guest.
