DiNapoli指出，尽管2022年和2023年华尔街的利润回落至疫情前水平，但2024年上半年纽约证券交易所成员公司的经纪交易业务税前利润飙升至232亿美元，同比增长近80%，预示着今年奖金有望增长7.4%，利润有望继续增长并超越2023年的水平，同时带动州和市的税收增长。According to the annual report of New York State Auditor General Thomas DiNapoli, the average salary (including bonuses) in the New York City securities industry in the US was 0.47137 million US dollars, down 5.2% year on year, mainly due to reduced bonuses. However, DiNapoli pointed out that in the first half of 2024, the profit before tax from the brokerage trading business of the New York securities industry soared to 23.2 billion US dollars, an increase of nearly 80% over the previous year, which indicates that bonuses are expected to increase by 7.4% this year.
In 2023, profits in the New York City securities industry fell from a high level during the pandemic, dragging down employee wages for the second year in a row.
According to the annual report of New York State Auditor General Thomas DiNapoli, although the average salary (including bonuses) in the New York securities industry fell 5.2% year on year to $0.47137 million in 2023, this figure is still the third highest in history. The report also pointed out that if inflation is taken into account, the actual decline reached 8.7%, mainly due to reduced bonuses, which averaged 0.1765 million dollars.
DiNapoli pointed out that although Wall Street profits fell back to pre-pandemic levels in 2022 and 2023, the pre-tax profit of NYSE member companies surged to 23.2 billion US dollars in the first half of 2024, an increase of nearly 80% over the previous year, indicating that bonuses are expected to increase 7.4% this year, and profits are expected to continue to grow and surpass 2023 levels, while driving tax growth in states and cities.
In terms of employment, the number of people employed in the New York State securities industry reached 0.2149 million in 2023, an increase of 0.0156 million over pre-pandemic levels in 2019. Although New York City's status as America's financial center is unwavering, with twice as many jobs in the securities industry as California, the 7.8% job growth rate is lower than Texas's 26.6% and Utah's 40.5%.
Despite declining wages, the average salary in the NYSE industry is still the highest of any industry in the state, far exceeding the average salary of private companies of $0.0987 million and the median actual income of a US household of $0.08061 million.
