In a recent article from ABA Journal, a team of researchers set out to determine the average lawyer wage in various regions across the US. The results are interesting. Alaska and Hawaii actually had comparable salaries of around 100k per year.
The poorest fairing areas: The midwest and less populated areas of the country.
The big winners: Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, the Northeast and California.
San Jose, San Francisco and New York were the clear standouts at right around $200,000 a year. El Paso, Oxnard and Los Angeles also moved up the list this year.
The article also speculates that there might be an overabundance of lawyers produced in this country over the last few years.
