There was always fierce competition between lawyers for jobs but the field is expected to grow just as steadily as most other jobs in America. People also fail to realize that when you graduate with a J.D you have more options then just practicing law. You can become a legal professor, Legal Consultant, Public Administration, Public Servant (look at how many politicians are lawyers) etc.

you live in the state with the #1 worst amount of surplus lawyers in the country by far

Those numbers are slightly inflated because they count total bar exams passed in New York State

Those numbers aren't quite as scary if you're not pursuing Biglaw in NY which is a total meat grinder and you already have connections. In my opinion, California is the bigger problem because of how many unaccredited law schools they have there. Those graduates can ONLY take the California bar and they can ONLY practice in that state. They're putting out 2X as many graduates in California as there are projected openings and roughly 1/2 of those graduates are from unaccredited schools. Yeah, it's gonna be a student loan fueled hilarity bomb of sadness and angry baristas.
