Law School Class of 2013 Employment Rates Rise

Today, the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar released a report on law school graduate employment outcomes for the class of 2013. The exciting news for students interested in law school is that the employment rate for new law graduates is (slightly) rising.

The ABA reports:
Law schools reported that 57 percent of graduates of the class of 2013 were employed in long-term, full-time positions where bar passage was required, compared with 56.2 percent for the class of 2012. In addition, 10.1 percent of graduates of the class of 2013 were employed in long-term, full-time positions where holding a J.D. provides an advantage in obtaining or performing the job, compared with 9.5 percent for the class of 2012.

The ABA continues the report stating:
The size of the 2013 graduating class was the largest ever at 46,776, slightly larger than the 2012 class of 46,364. The data show both more jobs and a slightly higher percentage of graduates obtaining jobs in which a J.D. was required or considered relevant.
