Praise the Lord - Legal Job Market in Terrible Shape
''Let's kill all the lawyers'' - William Shakespeare
?In 2011, finance, insurance, and law were the three primarily white-collar professions that managed to shed workers, even as the rest of the economy trudged forward through a slow recovery.?
So the parasites that make it harder for work to occur are being laid off? Huh, that's an unexpected way for the economy to be able to improve.
I hope that the host notices its newfound strength and acts accordingly.
To bad that graph didn't have snivel servants listed!Until that number starts dropping,and fast and furious,the States and us are still hooped.
A bit of a misquote on Shakespeare. In context, the line is given as advice on the means to create a state of tyranny. In other words, Shakespeare is saying lawyers are essential to the recognition of basic political and human rights. Of course, no one actually reads Shakespeare these days, except, perhaps, unemployed lawyers.
No, Shakespeare didn't say that. A character in one of his plays said that, one of a group who were plotting to take over the government. They suggested killing all the lawyers because they knew the law.
Literature can be difficult, but don't get discouraged.
Good to see the correction on the Shakespeare "saying" and its context. I'm not a lawyer, but that particular misquote always irks me.
Lawyers are the only profession I know of whose sole purpose it to make work for themselves. In the litigation rich, high crime world of the USofA, they'll likely never run out of work. Lawyers, like vultures and other scavengers, do well in hard times.
Conservative governments like Canada's will continue to reduce the government workforce, reduce debt and improve economic viability. They do well in good times when people have jobs and disposable income.
Socialist Liberal governments like Quebec and a lot of the USofA tend to grow bigger in hard times because they appeal to the poverty class of entitlement junkies. Once entrenched they're very hard to dislodge since the average unintelligent voter will always vote for the candidate who promises them them most benefits with the least increase in taxes on them.
North of 60 - don't forget HR departments, and any branch of government.
Be very afraid. Lwyer on the loose! Lawywers with idle hands seek other non value added professions like in government or bureaucracy. Anything to avoid real work.
don't forget HR departments, and any branch of government.
I never thought of bureaucracy as a profession, like lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists... but I see your point about their self serving nature.
Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy
In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely.
Come on, I would like someone to try & think of a litigation lawyer they know that is "honest"...They do not exist. They live to lie and cheat on billing hours. They are the bottom of the barrel. They disgust me. Do you really want to know how I feel? I left this guy an email last month just to let him know I will be out of the country and gave him a number where i can be reached. He charged me $50 to read the email and $50 to reply. That is the honest truth...Dirt bags the whole lot of them....of course he is now no longer employed by me....
...don't forget HR departments...
And safety people. They only exist because of gov't regulations.
SAFETY THIRD. The job comes first, obviously. Or there wouldn't be any reason to be safe.
Lawyers? Did you know that no lawyer in history has ever been attacked by a shark ? Professional courtesy.
Why would you need lawyers when the Government has stolen all you have already, along with said lawyers.
Workplace safety regulations and enforcement inspections have significantly reduced injuries and death. Only an idiot would deny that.
Workplace safety is always FIRST. You can't do your job when you're injured or dead.
