Dethroned! SF Bay Area takes the #1 spot from NY for e-discovery careers

Posted by icooper in Paralegal Careerselectronic discovery jobscareers in litigation support

At least for the month of October. 

New York had been at the top of our survey each month since we began tracking career postings fifteen months ago, in July 2008.

Overall, the West Coast gained in every category. Regardless of which region is pulling the jobs train - East Coast, West Coast, or Midwest, hopefully we can keep it stable until we pull out of the recession.

Career Pulse: 2, 217 career postings in lit support, ediscovery, and paralegal specializations aggregated from across the internet, available at PivotalDiscovery.com.

Here are the October results of our City Survey of Lit Support, eDiscovery, and Paralegal jobs, compared to last month.

Summary

Each category lost 3% - 5%. Based on what we all know happens in November and December, we have probably seen our peak for 2009. I won't be surprised to see these numbers drop by double digits in the last two months of the year. 

Is it too early to start toasting 2010?!

  • Lit Support: 3% decrease over last month. 
  • > E-Discovery positions are down  5%.    
  • > Paralegal specializations are also down 5%.

Double Digit Dips Nationwide in Job Postings in August

Posted by icooper in Paralegal Careerslitigation support jobshiring jobs employerselectronic discovery jobselectronic discoverycareers in litigation support

 

Double digit dips, but I'm going to chalk this up to the general summer cyclical slowdown.

Let's see if next month brings a significant rebound and continues the growth in new career positions that we have seen over the last few months. 

Here are the August results of our City Survey of Lit Support, eDiscovery, and Paralegal jobs, compared to last month.

Summary

  • Lit Support: 16% decrease over last month. 
  • > E-Discovery positions are down  10%.    
  • > Paralegal specializations lost 9%.
