The article in the New York Times reports that “the outsourcing firms are bringing home jobs to U.S lawyers”. It happens when the job for lawyers seems to weaken. At that time, graduates from law school are having difficulty in having a job especially in getting hired by the law firms. From that moment, outsourcing has been an option and a choice for young lawyers. It opens a great opportunity for them. They get a salary around $50,000 to $80,000.
This is the commonly known salary for legal work done abroad but this is not the typical fees that an attorney working in the U.S is getting. Even though there is a difference in the wage rate, they still get money and it is quite enough to suit for their living allowance under present economic conditions. The outsourcing company has a great impact on the economy of United States because it provides an opportunity for those fresh graduates. It does not always mean taking away American jobs because as what stated in this article, it helps the young American lawyers to have a descent job.
