Goldman Pay Still Tops JPMorgan's as Bonus Season Begins

"U.S. and European banks are under pressure to curb bonuses after taxpayers were forced to bail out the industry during the financial crisis. JPMorgan’s investment bank set aside enough money to pay an average of $369,651 to each employee for 2010, or 2.4 percent less than in 2009, according to the company’s year-end financial statements. Goldman Sachs’s pool equates to an average of $430,700, a reduction of 14 percent."
