Survey Results

After reviewing nearly 30 surveys of lawyer satisfaction over dozens of years, and accumulating data from more than 40,000 attorneys, one legal scholar concluded that surveyed attorneys across practice areas nationwide place attorneys’ job satisfaction at 78.8%.1 California labor and employment law attorneys are even more satisfied, according to an August 2016 survey of Labor and Employment Law Section members, with 506 respondents, which we believe is the largest study of labor and employment lawyers ever conducted.
