The average Wall Street bonus for 2021 hit a record high of $257,500, up 20% from $213,700 the year before, according to estimates released Wednesday by New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
The payouts are obviously good news for employees in the securities industry, who make up 5% of private sector employees in New York City. But since their pay accounts for one-fifth of the city's private sector wages, high bonuses are also good news for Gotham's tax coffers.
