Job Earnings Statistics of US Census Bureau led by Law Occupations (Lawyers, Judges, Paralegals) at Twice the National Median Household Income
Have you ever thought about what an average lawyer, teacher, taxi driver or dishwasher earns? Is dishwashing really at the bottom of the earnings list from which there is nowhere to go but up to make one's millions? Indeed, what do people in the various jobs, occupations and professions in the United States actually earn? This posting can tell you - for example, the dishwasher is in fact at the absolute bottom of the US income and earnings scale. Check it out.
Debra Cassens Weiss in the September 10, 2008 ABA Journal Law News Now reports that Being a Lawyer and Male Makes You a Top Earner, Census Report Shows.
The August 2008 report from the US Census Bureau, Income, Earnings, and Poverty Data From the 2007 American Community Survey by Alemayehu Bishaw and Jessica Semega, shows that the median income for males in legal occupations - this includes e.g. lawyers and legal paraprofessionals - is about $105,000 per year, which is twice the national median household income of about $50,000 per year. Men's income in the legal professions is substantially higher than for women.
The median income data for the legal occupations (p. 34 of the report):
Lawyers - $120,400 (males), $93,600 (females)
Judges, magistrates, and other judicial workers - $108,100 (males), $69,500 (females)
Paralegals and legal assistants - $45,700 (males), $42,600 (females)
Miscellaneous legal support workers - $56,000 (males), $40,700 (females)
Health occupations are second to legal professions, with a median income of ca. $100,000 annually, although male physicians and surgeons have higher median earnings of ca. $180,000 annually, followed by male dentists with $150,000 per annum.
The median earnings in the United States for all jobs, occupations and professions (median income for males) are listed by us below from top to bottom (please note that this list in this order does not exist in the original Census Bureau report and that there are substantial regional differences in earnings in the USA, for which reason we also insert some geographic income data for orientation):

Job Earnings Statistics of US Census Bureau led by Law Occupations (Lawyers, Judges, Paralegals) at Twice the National Median Household Income
Have you ever thought about what an average lawyer, teacher, taxi driver or dishwasher earns? Is dishwashing really at the bottom of the earnings list from which there is nowhere to go but up to make one's millions? Indeed, what do people in the various jobs, occupations and professions in the United States actually earn? This posting can tell you - for example, the dishwasher is in fact at the absolute bottom of the US income and earnings scale. Check it out.
Debra Cassens Weiss in the September 10, 2008 ABA Journal Law News Now reports that Being a Lawyer and Male Makes You a Top Earner, Census Report Shows.
The August 2008 report from the US Census Bureau, Income, Earnings, and Poverty Data From the 2007 American Community Survey by Alemayehu Bishaw and Jessica Semega, shows that the median income for males in legal occupations - this includes e.g. lawyers and legal paraprofessionals - is about $105,000 per year, which is twice the national median household income of about $50,000 per year. Men's income in the legal professions is substantially higher than for women.
The median income data for the legal occupations (p. 34 of the report):
Lawyers - $120,400 (males), $93,600 (females)
Judges, magistrates, and other judicial workers - $108,100 (males), $69,500 (females)
Paralegals and legal assistants - $45,700 (males), $42,600 (females)
Miscellaneous legal support workers - $56,000 (males), $40,700 (females)
Health occupations are second to legal professions, with a median income of ca. $100,000 annually, although male physicians and surgeons have higher median earnings of ca. $180,000 annually, followed by male dentists with $150,000 per annum.
The median earnings in the United States for all jobs, occupations and professions (median income for males) are listed by us below from top to bottom (please note that this list in this order does not exist in the original Census Bureau report and that there are substantial regional differences in earnings in the USA, for which reason we also insert some geographic income data for orientation):
