Wall Street Bonuses Hit Record High in New York Last Year, Averaging Approximately 39 Million Yen
Wall Street Bonuses Reach Record High
According to estimates released by the New York State Comptroller on the 26th, the average bonus paid to employees of Wall Street financial institutions last year was $246,900 (approximately 39 million yen), representing a 6% increase from the previous year and setting a new historical record. The total bonus amount also reached $49.2 billion (approximately 7.86 trillion yen), also a record high.
Factors Behind the Record and Future Risks
This increase in bonuses is attributed to the increase in corporate mergers and acquisitions due to deregulation under the Donald Trump administration, as well as the strong performance of trading operations. However, some analysts point out that rising geopolitical tensions pose significant risks for the market going forward.
