Legal Recruitment Talent Shortage Sees Lawyer Salaries Increase by 27%

 

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/02/2022 -- Nominal wage growth rose by more than 4% in the US last year and most employers are factoring in another rise for budgets for 2022. In fact, payroll budgets could increase by up to 15% for firms this year, making this a prime time for those seeking to work with a legal recruitment agency to find an exciting new role. The year-on-year increase for lawyer salaries is set to hit 27% in 2022, which represents a significant turnaround from some of the much harder years of the pandemic. The spike in salaries is being driven by the talent shortage that is affecting the legal sector, as well as many other industries. The new wage cycle that is emerging falls on the side of workers, as the fight for talent isn't likely to abate any time soon and legal teams across the world are going to have to continually update their offering to attract the best people.

The talent shortage - and the consequent spike in potential salaries - has been key to watch for a legal recruitment agency like Larrson Maddox. This has created an environment that favors candidates while also putting a lot of pressure on hiring managers to be able to cherry-pick the best people from a slim stream of talent.
