New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2022 -- The shock of the pandemic caused a serious slowdown for legal hiring, including with respect to legal compliance jobs. However, recent figures show that the job market is returning with a huge increase in demand. There are currently tens of thousands of open positions across the country and, given that many openings for counsel and partners aren't posted online, this is likely to be just the tip of the iceberg. Hiring data for previous years shows a drop of nearly 50% between 2019 and 2020 so it's no surprise that there is now huge demand for talent across all legal recruitment pipelines. Since October 2020 - the point at which recovery started for most businesses - there has been a 106% upswing in available roles. Legal compliance lawyers are some of the most in-demand talent today thanks to changes in regulatory environments and the focus many businesses now have on preventing money laundering and fraud.
As the figures show, legal compliance jobs in the USA have experienced a significant shift since the pandemic caused such a drop in hiring levels. Today, the skyrocketing demand means that there are opportunities all over the country for talented people to take career-defining next steps.
