At last – some good news for the profession. Any readers who felt a little concerned on discovering that their work trousers were somewhat more difficult to put on this week than they were before Christmas – it must be a problem with the zip – can relax. It turns out that lawyers are, in fact, quite healthy. Indeed, they are the fifth most healthy profession, beaten only by: advertising reps; teachers; HR professionals; and accountants. The survey of 3,000 workers by healthcare cash plan provider medicash found that although lawyers don’t actually do that much exercise, on average they drink less alcohol, eat less junk food and are less likely to smoke than other professions. Or maybe they are more likely to lie about it.
