Making Bank: Wall Streeters Are Earning More Than Ever Before

``Wall Street pay set a new record last year, according to a report out Tuesday from the New York State Comptroller's office, with the average salary (including bonuses) rising 14% to $404,800... The rise in pay has been propelled by larger bonuses, which rose 2% to $172,900 last year. The only times that workers collected bigger bonuses were in the two years leading up to the financial crisis.''
