Shocker: Wall Street pay rose in 2011!




Crains New York;s Greg Daid writes: Yesterday’s blog post focused on the issue of whether pay on Wall Street is headed down. I included a chart from the state comptroller’s crucial annual report on the industry which showed pay rose in 2010 and said we would have to wait for this year’s update to find out about 2011.

Well, we don’t have to wait, thanks to Marisa Di Natale of Moody’s Analytics, who crunched recently released data using the same methodology as the comptroller’s staff.

The results are just amazing. Despite a 72% decline in profits, the average compensation on Wall Street rose slightly in 2011. Good thing the Occupy Wall Street movement has disbanded!.
