This link is not working properly, but the article points out the costs of law school compared to the pay for lawyers.
The article notes that the lowest pay is for lawyers working for the state.
The lowest of the low is about $37,000 per year for entry level district attorneys. And the article notes that even public defenders starting out are paid more at about $40,000. (This is a common problem in many areas of the country so quite often entry level local & state prosecutors use this as a training ground to get some actual courtroom experience.)
The average pay for all layers in 2018 is $120,910.
Average law school student loan debt is $122,000.
