US legal sector gains 300 jobs in May

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that the legal sector gained 300 jobs in May. The news is heartening, after the sector lost hundreds of jobs in April. However, there are still 22,200 less legal jobs than in May 2009. The US economy added 431,000 jobs in May, though these figures are warped by the 411,000 temporary jobs offered for work on the 2010 census.
