评估报告显示 华尔街从业者荷包丰收
The rise in stock prices in 2017 boosted the average bonus paid to Wall Street workers who live in New York City to $184,220, up 17% from a year earlier, according to an estimate released last Monday by the New York State Comptroller. It was the second consecutive year workers in New York's financial services industry saw their bonuses jump by more than 15%. The overall 2017 bonus pool surged to $31.4 billion, vs. $26.9 billion in 2016. The Dow Jones industrial average rallied 25% last year as the nine-year bull market rolled on. Industry profits jumped to their highest level in seven years. Wall Street bonus pay dwarfs the total salary of the average American worker. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, median wage for workers in the US in the fourth quarter of 2017 was $44,564 per year. |
