Comments

When you have as many Israelis as Americans as entry-level hires, with 1/50 the population, either the Israelis are very good or there aren't many jobs in the American market. Maybe a little bit of both.

If I count correctly, that is a grand total of four entry level tax hires by American law schools, two of whom were previously in teaching as VAPs. I assume this is because of the economy. If it doesn't turn around, we are going to face an aging field which is bad news for creativity and energy.
