Wall Street is hiring again! Between February and May, the financial industry added 6800 jobs in New York City alone, the largest three-month increase since 2008.
This new wave of hiring prompted us to ask some questions: Who’s getting hired and for what jobs? Do applicants now have more choice? Are firms being forced to pay more and offer better bonuses? What does this mean for the industry as a whole? What does it mean to the city?
Marketplace wants to talk to recruiters, new hires, and job candidates to get a feel for the current Wall Street job market. If you have an experience to share, click here to tell us.
Great news! No matter who they are or what they do, I want one of these folks to rent my house. I bought the house in 2006 (just before these folks started losing their jobs), remodeled (modernized) it at a cost close to $150K, hoping one of these well paid folks who would be interested in enjoying the suburban life while working in the city to rent it. Unfortunately, many of WS workers or potential renters were gone way beyond suburban.
