The above table shows the number of U.S. lawyers and law students according to recent ABA statistics. About 1/267 Americans are either a lawyer or a law student in the United States, which is close to 0.375% of the total population, or roughly 1,158,000 people. This is compared to U.S. Census data, which shows 80.4% of Americans over the age of 25 have received a high school degree, while 24.4% have attained a bachelors degree. Also shown are current (as of Feb 7 2010) U.S. population projections from the U.S. Census Bureau population clock. 2.6% of all those holding bachelor degrees are either a lawyer or J.D. candidate.
Of those 25 and over, 49.2% of Asians, 30.0% of whites, 16.8% of blacks, 13.4% of American Indians, and 12.3% of Hispanics hold bachelors degrees. Between 79-89% of these groups have high school diplomas, with the exception of Hispanics, of whom only 60% hold diplomas nationwide.
