 | | Law proposed the establishment of a state-chartered bank with the power to issue unbacked paper currency (see here for pictures of notes), the Banque Générale, which was established in 1716. | | | Consequently, the amount of money in existence is determined not by the imports of gold or trade balances (as the Mercantilists argued), but rather on the supply of credit in the economy. | | | Indeed, the experience of Law's banking schemes on France were so traumatic that, until recently, the term "banque" was largely eschewed by French banks in order to avoid stoking up memories of Law's unfortunate institution (the common substitute term was "credit", as in "Credit Lyonnais", "Credit Agricole", "Credit Foncier", etc.). |

| | Employment of lawyers is expected to grow about as fast as average for all occupations through 2014, primarily as a result of growth in the population and in the general level of business activities. | | | Perhaps as a result of competition for attorney positions, lawyers are increasingly finding work in nontraditional areas for which legal training is an asset, but not normally a requirement—for example, administrative, managerial, and business positions in banks, insurance firms, real estate companies, government agencies, and other organizations. | | | Some corporations and law firms will not hire new attorneys until business improves, and these establishments may even cut staff to contain costs. |
