Shocking Stat: Wall Street Bonuses vs. Worker Bee Earnings
Report author Sarah Anderson found that 167,800 Americans potentially benefitted from the more than $28.5 billion in bonuses paid out by Wall Street banks in 2014. Some securities industries employees likely received large bonuses, while others received nothing.
“The $28.5 billion in bonuses doled out to Wall Street employees is double the annual pay for all 1,007,000 Americans who work full-time at the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour,” Anderson wrote.
If you’re having a hard time stomaching Anderson’s findings, you’re not alone. Sadly, they’re accurate.
In an article penned for The New York Times, Justin Wolfers, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said: “My judgment is that we can be pretty confident that Ms. Anderson’s estimate that the sum of Wall Street bonuses is roughly twice the total amount paid to all full-time workers paid minimum wage seems like a fair characterization.”
Wall Street bonuses were up 3 percent last year from 2013, despite a 4.5 percent drop in industry profits.

Too big to fail? It may turn out that the biggest banks in the U.S. are too big to break up.
The idea that the TBTF institutions were going to get cut down to size after the financial crisis has turned into a giant myth. If anything, the system has gotten even bigger.
JPMorgan Chase, No. 1 among banks and thrifts in total assets, has seen its base swell to more than $2.5 trillion, according to SNL Financial. The company’s deposit base alone has grown by 29 percent since the end of 2008.
