Paralegal Salaries: How Paralegals Around the Nation are Compensated
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the paralegal profession is one of the fastest growing fields in the United States. As paralegal jobs have increased, paralegal salaries also have been on a steady rise over the past few years. Compensation depends on factors such as certification, education, experience and geographic region. Additionally, the environment — law firm, corporation or government — is a significant factor in paralegal salaries. Legal Assistant Today Magazine's 16th annual paralegal salary survey results show that pay for paralegal jobs climbed slowly in 2007. The average salary of a paralegal increased 3.7% to $52,979. In the 16 years Legal Assistant Today magazine has conducted its annual paralegal compensation survey, increases in paralegal salaries have varied dramatically. Take, for example, the survey results from the last two years, when wages escalated an incredible 11.2 percent in 2005 but barely got off the ground in 2006 with only a 1.4 percent increase. Much like enduing a turbulent flight, this kind of up-and-down inconsistency can be disconcerting when it involves your paycheck. Taking a bird’s-eye view of the 2007 salary landscape, however, LAT found paralegals’ pay ascending at a comfortable pace.
