In 2022, there were 354k "paralegals and legal assistants" according to the BLS.
https://www.bls.gov/emp/tables/emp-by-detailed-occupation.htm
Will this number increase or decrease over the following 10 years?
In the projections linked above, the BLS projected an increase of 4.2% to 369k jobs.
The intent of the question is whether technology and/or economic developments result in needing fewer people in these jobs (in the US). If the BLS stops publishing these data or changes the job classifications, I will attempt to find the most comparable alternative.
