Labor-market reference
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 18,470 lawyers employed in the San Francisco metropolitan area in May 2025, with a median annual wage of $212,500. This is labor-market context, not a salary recommendation for a specific role.
Do not confuse public data with an offer
Occupation data describes a broad metro and occupational classification. A lawful, competitive offer depends on the actual work, seniority, work model, total compensation and applicable requirements.
