Paragraph.

The number of people doing paralegal work has been steadily increasing in recent years, making it one of the fastest rising employment sectors. In my view, the numbers will continue to rise despite the credit crunch.

Some observers think the rise will slow down a bit, due to the fact many of the jobs done by paralegals are discrestionary purchases that people can choose not to do in times of financial difficulty - making a will for instance. However, I see that any reduction of that type will be offset by other practices findiing new roles for paralegals in an effort to cut costs.
