There were approximately 760,000 lawyers working in the United States in 2006. Since lawyers earn a high income and their jobs often allow them to have a powerful impact on their community, many new people join this profession each year. Lawyers can work in a wide range of areas, from criminal law and intellectual property to municipal law and personal injuries. In addition, there are many opportunities for non-lawyers as support professionals such as paralegals.
