Statistics on amount of lawyers in the United States

The interactive line chart shows the amount of lawyers in the United States of America since 1880. There were 1,327,010 lawyers in the U.S. in 2022. The number is expected to be lower in 2023, but still over 1.3 million.

In comparison with the line chart of the U.S. population, we see a disproportional growth in the amount of lawyers since the 1970s in the United States. The dots display the precise numbers.
