What is the percent of men are lawyers?

There are about 1.3 million lawyers in the US, and the number is growing faster than the total population. It is possible to extend the growth statistic into the future and estimate lawyer population and its percentage of the US population. Thus we could estimate the date at which half the population are lawyers, or even we will all be lawyers.

Our law schools are presently experiencing a huge increase in enrollments. If the lawyer population grows at its current 9 percent growth rate, compounded annually, then we will double the current lawyer population in eight years (2019) to 2.6 million lawyers. At that same rate, it will double again in 2027 and again in 2035. That is, we will have 10.4 million lawyers in 2035. A few more cycles like that and by the year 2091, we there will be 681.2 million lawyers in the US--which means that every American over the age of 25 will then be a lawyer.

Aren't statistics amazing?
