The paralegal job market is growing rapidly. Nationally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment for paralegals to grow by 22 percent by the year 2016 (www.bls.gov/oco/ocos114.htm#outlook). In Illinois, the job market for paralegals is also projected to grow by 22 percent by the year 2016. (lmi.ides.state.il.us/projections/statefiles/IL0616LTOcc.pdf). In DuPage County, the projected growth rate for paralegals within the same time period is 28%. (lmi.ides.state.il.us/projections/countyfiles/lt/occupational/DuPage.pdf).
