Diversity - Legal Service Providers Special Counsel's Strategic Initiative Is Model For Diversity Editor's Note: According to the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demographics of the United States are changing. By 2008, women and minorities are expected to make up 70 percent of new entrants to the workforce. Nearly one-fifth of the U.S. workforce will be 55 or older by 2012. Approximately 40 percent of all American consumers are non-white. Spending among African Americans, Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans is estimated to exceed $650 billion annually. These statistics clearly illustrate that the U.S. population is becoming more diverse. To remain competitive in today's marketplace, companies, including law firms and corporations (and their respective legal departments), must embrace diversity as a strategic initiative. Special Counsel, a leader in customized staffing solutions for corporate legal departments and law firms, has launched a program to maintain, expand and manage diversity internally and to support the efforts of vendors and clients.
