I received the following from the American Bar Association (ABA) today.  Being that I’m a labor and employment attorney, I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to help the ABA conduct this survey about my profession’s job market, especially in consideration of this extremely tight and disheartening job market and economy.

The ABA Journal is surveying lawyers about the job market and the current state of the economy.  Survey results will be published in the January ABA Journal. Here is the link to the survey:

Here’s the ABA’s introduction from the actual survey:

We want to know how you think the recession will affect the legal profession. Please take our two-minute survey. Results will be published in the January issue of the ABA Journal. Your answers will be kept confidential, and used only in combination with all other responses received.

This survey is supposed to be only for attorneys, but there’s no way that I know of to monitor who takes this.  So if your name is “Joe T. Plumber” or “I.P. Freely,” and your’re not an attorney, please don’t take this survey :-).
