"Worst. Recovery. Ever." Except For Bankers
For most (practically all) Americans, this is officially the worst recovery ever. As we pointed out previously, wage growth has never been slower in a post World War II recovery. However, not everyone is hurting...
- *GOLDMAN SACHS SAID TO RAISE JUNIOR STAFF'S SALARIES ABOUT 20%
This comes just weeks after Morgan Stanley announced it would raise junior banker salaries by 25%.
But not for the bankers... (as Bloomberg reports)
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. will increase 2015 salaries for junior employees in the U.S. by about 20 percent, according to a person briefed on the decision.
The raises will apply to employees with the title of analyst across all divisions, said the person, who asked not to be identified speaking on personnel matters. Analysts are typically recent college graduates.
Morgan Stanley is raising salaries for junior bankers worldwide by about 25 percent, a person briefed on the matter said last month. That change only applied to associates and vice presidents in the investment banking and underwriting units.
The New York Post reported on Goldman Sachs’s pay increases earlier today.

It appears President Obama's hopes for 'fair, livable' minimum wage is
being heeded by the banking community - good patriots, they are.

I think we need to inagurate the first global holiday, "Kick a Bankster in the Nuts Day."
Too bad ISIS beheaded a jounalist instead of a bankster. Can you imagine the global cheers
Here's your bonus.....might want to keep it to yourself.
We sorta borrowed it from everyone's grandkids.
Raises for all the "Anal-ists". lol
"Fux you and you muthaphuxin momma, we gone kil all you muthaphukas. Now when we came out, we told you it was just about Benny but everybody had to open their mouth with their muthaphuxin opinion. So this is how we gonna do this: Phuck Ben Bernanke, Phuck Jamie Dimon, Phuck the federal reserve as a corporation, bank, and as fake Masonic Jews. And if you wanna be down with the Fed Reserve, then phuck you too. Belgium, Phuck you too. All you muthphuckas, Phuck you too, All of y'all muthaphuckas Phuck you too, Phuck you, die slow muthaphuckas, our 44s make sure all your kids don't grow."

I just got a bonus of $250,000, now what am I going to do?
How about I buy some more SPY
.
No wonder the SP500 & NAS keeps going up regardless of every other piece of news.
Financial services employee bonuses are but the smallest fraction of the fed's limitless printing.
$250k bonus is chump change, for the record. Kids 2-3 years out of grad school will make that much at the bulge bracket shops.
The one thing that really irritates me about ZH these days is that posters here are justfiying the shooting of Brown in Ferguson (a large black man that was being harassed by the police for nothing more than walking in the street outside of the crosswalk area), meanwhile the banksters are not only getting away with the theft of everyone's purchasing power without any meaningful prosecution, but are also getting in the front of the line for wage growth. The fucking banksters are responsible for a HUGE increase in the amount of homelessness (thanks to fraud foreclosures, rehypothicated mortgages, and loan origination out of thin air) and a HUGE increase in poverty, as capital is now flowing to the LEAST productive sectors in our economy (FIRE). The inequality of wages and the inequality of our "justice" system is causing this societal upheaval. I would be pissed too if I were a broke ass, homeless nigga that gets harassed by the po-po every day.
The banksters have to be taken out, but the police force focuses on the plebes and not the thieves. I hate this fiat system of serfdom.

I prefer hang a bankster by the nuts day.
Are we sure this isn't Obama trying to create another crisis for political advantage? Just asking.
France it's debt has just crossed the 2 trillion mark, maybe that's why they get the payraise?
TARGETS!! => BONUSSES!
They will be working double overtime to arrange all that "financing".
Investment Banking..that's when you give your money to a Bank and never see it again.
Longing for another bankster suiciding. It's been a while. I have a short attention span.
Nailguns all around! Elevators to the top floor! Hiking on steep mountain terrain!
Death, by law, to banksters and their stooges, the attorneys and, yep, the secretaries helping them. No excuse to do evil...I don't care if it does feed your family.
Escorts and coke dealers are doing well also. Not sure if this is all connected.
If you want to rob a bank (or get a taxpayer-funded bailout), you need to do what GS did and become a bank.
"Full faith and credit"
tick tock...
I still can't find an GS ATM machine.
It's called the FED.
Oh wait, I thought you meant the one GS uses.

Of course the banksters are doing just fine. Who wouldn't be after being bailed out for 17 trillion by the taxpayers of the world? Ever wonder where the money comes from for countless and endless wars?
well, it's comes from here: AMERICA'S GOLDEN CAVE
Work hard, play hard...
and for the rest of the lazy people who don't contribute to the real economy...
Vampire squid along with Shittybank and Shattered Chartered bank are taking everyone for a ride!

Great growth strategy. Young banksters should better learn a real job.
True that.
Anyone who does not provide real value for their clients, be it in banking or any service industry or several manufacturing industries (Japanese electronics, Motorola, BB, thousands of restaurants etc are good examples aside from Enron and Nortel etc) will get no opportunity to earn any money.
Even slaves will need to find a master who can afford to pay them. Because now even the masters are getting into more and more trouble and running short of money due to demand destruction (due to job losses) and lack of bank lending.
You better believe their patting each other on the back and getting huge bonuses.
How else is one supposed to pay for that 2.5 million $$ 1600 sq ft upper east side condo, and send ones children to a 50k prep school.
Got to prime the pump for the next generation of Banksters...
And the jewelry and shopping habits of the Wifey!
Tsk. Slumming.
Arrest the fascists. End the FED. Prosecute them for acts of financial terrorism.
Sounds great in theory, but they've paid off the local Law Enforcement, they own the Judges as well as the courts, and above all no one has the balls to step up and Prosecute in fear of becoming another headless victim.
Damn it feels good to be a bankster.
And.....laughing all the way to the bank no pun. Think it sucks now? Wait 5 more years.
Any word on JPM junior banksters; or is that money being vacuumed directly into Jamie's throathole?
We need a new term for going postal, it will no longer apply to just postal workers. Pretty much everyone but banksters.
"He went "non Bankster"?
Not sure that works
"He went "full serf"?
closer....
Bullet meet banker.
When people get torches and pitchforks and burn this sumabitch down I wonder how much these clowns will be laughing then...lol
>> When people get torches and pitchforks
People aren't going to do Jack Chit. In this country you don't do nothing until you've got nothing left to lose, see Ferguson. And when you rise up, everyone turns on you. The media and the police are in full control. The path ahead is pretty clear.
" In this country you don't do nothing until you've got nothing left to lose, see Ferguson."
Exactly. I think you are underestimating how many citizens are approaching that point.
better be handing out bullet proof vests as well...
i bet u they wont be claiming their "set" in the coming days.....
Remember in the first days after the crash, all WS Bankster CEO were clamoring for more personal protection from NYC police. Also donating 100s of thousand dollars to fund specific details for WS protection.
They were afraid it was going to happen then. They must feel pretty secure now after watching Ferguson...
i do remember...
they will be hiding their their profession i guarantee u...
gated communities will offer no refuge...
I can't understand why some of the leaders are still alive.
Only because making them martyrs would be even worse. Can you imagine flying into the Obungho International Airport? Ewwwww, shudder........puke.
Did Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs raise the shareholder's dividends by 25% as well ?
I will save this link. When the Banking industry needs a new bailout, the link will be reposted. Castration will be forthcoming. Cigar burns and a towel of oranges.
LLoyd, they will come after you, not the junior partners. Media will draw a map to your home. Everyone knows when you receive ZIRP and recirulate back into the market at 1- 10% interest rate. You're not doing gods work, you have become a corporate loan shark wanker.
What a despicable piece of shit you have turned into. If I would use the same fraud model, counterfeiting taxpayer money. I would be in jail for life.
You walk around without prosecution. When we diversify out of the USD, the media map will find you in a uncomfortable situation.
Stop this madness Lloyd, let the chain reaction begin. Better than late 2015, early 2016. Stop waiting for him to die of natural causes, the public will have already figured it out beforehand. Food for thought.
"What a despicable piece of shit you have turned into. "
Turned into? The bastard was created this way in an illuminati laboratory.
Great opportunities abound for waiters at the posh Manhattan watering holes. That is if you have the nerve to quit your cushy gig at Mickey-Ds!
Almost as good as .gov jobs now....
sucks to be us, commoner
I don't refer to them as bankers anymore.
They are targets.
Consider the 20% raise hazard pay.
