March Layoff Numbers

Would you like to know the number of attorneys and legal staff dumped in March? If not, stop reading. If you do, the number is (drum roll please): 3,500. This figure is definitely higher than February’s total of 2,000 some odd jobs, and January’s now seemingly small figure of 1,500. All of these numbers, are not exact totals. Several factors affect the tallies, such as law firm’s not announcing layoff numbers or they just aren’t calling them what they are: layoffs.
