  • 8 years ago
Wall Street's average bonus fell 9 percent to $146,200 in 2015, the biggest drop since 2011, according to estimates by New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
The bonus pool was $25 billion, down 6 percent from a year earlier, as the industry added 4,500 jobs in New York City, DiNapoli said Monday in a statement .
The state got more pessimistic about prospects for 2016, saying the statewide bonus pool will probably drop 2.5 percent in the current fiscal year, down from a previous estimate for a 0.7 percent increase.
