What makes paralegal compensation a difficult thing to pin down?
What will be an ideal response?
Because most paralegal compensation numbers come from surveys, an accurate survey requires a sufficient sample in order for the result to have any meaning. But, most paralegal compensation surveys have a remarkably low number of respondents. Also, the statistics fail to take into account the broad range of experiences of the respondents, which can falsely skew the results. Furthermore, the paralegal/legal assistant field is quite diverse, with jobs in large law firms in large cities, to jobs in small law firms in small cities, to government work, to corporate work. A survey might unwittingly give the impression that the lesser-educated paralegals/legal assistants get paid more than those who have college degrees because the lesser-educated respondents may have been working for many years (and before a legal education was a prerequisite to employment). Hence, the higher average wages.
