When I lived in CA there was a constant barrage of newspaper ads, radio spots, even billboards, with messages that basically amounted to "Feeling butt-hurt? Need money? We'll find somebody to sue for you (for a fee)." The classified sections of the papers were full of no-money-up-front "hired gun" lawyers.

Sure, I'll freely admit I haven't done rigorous research on the subject. There are only so many things that one person can study in depth. But all that expense to drum up business isn't a sign of a profession that already has all the business it can handle.

Could cessation of growth mean that they finally hit saturation — or, perhaps more to the point, is all that advertising for business plus cessation of growth a sign that the profession hit saturation some time back, and the pipeline just finally emptied?
