A 26% decline brings the average bonus closer to what financial employees received prior
to the pandemic, Thomas DiNapoli, New York State Comptroller, via statement.
CNN reports that in 2021, Wall Street
firms had a $42.7 billion bonus pool.
Last year, the pool was at $33.7 billion, marking the biggest decrease since the Great Recession.
The lower bonuses are projected to respectively bring
in $208 million less and $457 million less in city and
state tax revenue compared to the previous year.
While lower bonuses affect income
tax revenues for the state and city, our economic recovery does not depend solely
on Wall Street. Employment in leisure and hospitality, retail, restaurants and construction must continue to improve
for the city and state to fully recover, Thomas DiNapoli, New York State Comptroller, via statement
