2024考研英语同源外刊4月:华尔街年终奖暴跌26%

Wall Street bankers might have to start counting their pennies: the average banking bonuses fell 26% last year, leaving the average bonus at “just” $176.700. After significant boosts during the pandemic, profits started to fall for Wall Street firms in 2022 as inflation rose and fears of recessions started to hit, leaving companies with less leeway for bonuses, according to a report from the New York state comptroller office released on Thursday. Bonuses are now at pre-pandemic levels, reaching a low not seen since 2019.

华尔街的银行家们可能要开始精打细算了：去年银行业的平均奖金下降了26%，就“只有”176.700美元。根据纽约州审计长办公室周四发布的一份报告，在疫情期间大幅增长后，随着通货膨胀率上升和对经济衰退的担忧，华尔街公司的利润在2022年开始下降，使公司的奖金池里的份额减少。奖金目前处于疫情前的水平，达到了2019年以来的低点。

The bonus pool in 2022 was $33.7bn, down 21% from 2021’s record of $42.7bn. In 2021. the average bonus was $240.400 – what had been a 20% increase compared with the year prior. “A 26% decline brings the average bonus closer to what financial employees received prior to the pandemic,” comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said in a statement. DiNapoli notes that Wall Street accounts for 22% of the state’s tax revenue and 8% of tax collections for New York City.

2022年的奖金池为337亿美元，比2021年创纪录的427亿美元下降21%。2021年，平均奖金为240.400美元——与前一年相比增长了20%。审计长托马斯·迪纳波利(Thomas DiNapoli)在一份声明中表示：“26%的下降使金融业员工的平均奖金更接近疫情前的水平。”迪纳波利指出，华尔街占该州税收的22%，占纽约市税收的8%。

“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,” he said. In an analysis of the news, Inequality.org calculated that since 1985. the first year the comptroller reported bonus data, the average Wall Street bonus has increased 1.165%, from $13.970 to $176.700 in 2022 (not adjusted for inflation).

他说：“虽然较低的奖金影响了州和市的所得税收入，但我们的经济复苏并不完全依赖于华尔街。休闲和酒店业、零售业、餐饮业和建筑业的就业必须继续改善，城市和州才能完全恢复。”Inequality.org在对新闻的分析中计算出，自1985年审计长首次报告奖金数据以来，华尔街的平均奖金已经增加了1165%，从13.970美元增至2022年的176.700美元(未按通货膨胀调整)。
