A recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report indicates strong career prospects for legal assistants. Employment rates are expected to grow by about 22% (53,000 legal assistant jobs), by 2016, which is well above the national growth average. The majority of legal assistants (about 70%) work for law firms, while the remainder of these positions are with government organizations and commercial legal departments.
