OR Wall Street He set a record in bonus in 2024, amid swelling in transactions and rise in the stock market, with the average payment of $ 244,700 amounting to about four times the US employees’ salary last year.

The bonus tank rose to $ 47.5 billion last year, leading to an increase of more than 30% in the average banker’s bonus, according to data released Wednesday from its control office New York.

On the contrary, the intersecting weekly salaries of the US full -time employee amounted to approximately $ 62,000 a year, according to January data from the Office office.

“This financial market power is good news for the New York economy and our budgetary position, which is based on the tax revenue it produces,” he said, “he said,” Dinapoli. “However, increasing uncertainty in the economy amid major changes in federal policy can reduce the prospects for parts of the mobile industry in 2025.”

Wall Street represented almost one fifth of the total tax receipts of the state in the financial year 2023-24.
