Those numbers are slightly inflated because they count total bar exams passed in New York State (your able to practice in 3-4 other states with your N.Y Bar License) so not everyone actually ends up working here. My degree is a dual pre-law/paralegal studies so that I will be able to get a job working at a corporate law firm that requires you have a bachelors degree (which most paraglegals don't). It's a great thing to fall back on because just a quick search of mean paralegal salary in NYC shows that its a great career to start in. My plan is to do law school at night while I'm working at my uncle's law firm as a paralegal. Again, the competition is fierce but not many jobs start you out at 100k+.
Jobs are competive in 2013 no matter what you plan on doing. Unless its physical labor then expect to have a bit of a hard time finding something right away. One just has to look at say I.T statistics and realize its pretty much nation wide.
Job Outlook
Employment of computer programmers is expected to increase 12 percent from 2010 to 2020, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Since computer programming can be done from anywhere in the world, companies often hire programmers in countries that have lower wages.
P.S I'm genuinely curious as to what your profession is Stinkum?
