Wall Street may cut 20,000 jobs over 2 years: report
Mon Mar 24, 2008 5:37pm EDT
NEW YORK (Reuters) – New York City risks losing more than 20,000 jobs in the high-paying financial sector over the next two years as the effect of the crisis in mortgage markets drives down Wall Street’s profits, according to a report issued on Monday.
The city’s Independent Budget Office, in its report, estimated that Wall Street’s profits for 2007 will sink by more than 80 percent to the lowest level since 1994.
Profits for 2007 are expected to total just $3.2 billion, down from $20.9 billion in 2006, the report said.
Banks and brokerages account for almost 35 percent of all salaries and wages in New York City. Fallout from investments in the risky subprime mortgage market has forced Wall Street banks to write-down more than $150 billion — and more red ink is expected.

Go Newark Nets!!!
Marty too fat to run for anything. if he wants to get there he gonna have to walk!
The Sun may quote Marty as saying he is still undecided. But the departure of his chief-of-staff for the private sector says to me that Marty ain’t running. And as for the NBC/Marist poll, that is just name recognition.
