Wall Street to Cut 10,000 Jobs By The End of The year

Thomas DiNapoli, New York state’s comptroller, has just predicted that 10,000 financial industry jobs will be cut in NYC by the end of the year (via Bloomberg Businessweek).

"The securities industry had a strong start to 2011, but its prospects have cooled considerably for the second half of this year," DiNapoli said in the Bloomberg article. "It now seems likely that profits will fall sharply, job losses will continue, and bonuses will be smaller than last year."

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg saw no reason to disagree with the numbers.

"We think our estimates are probably still reasonably accurate. So I don't think it's dramatically worse than what we have in our budget, but it's certainly not better," he said in the Bloomberg report.

And most everyone is confident that the layoffs will greatly impact the city (if not the entire global financial industry).

"We do know that we're going to have a tough time here. And we're going to make sure that we preserve the vital services of the city," Mayor Bloomberg said. "In the long term I couldn't be more optimistic about New York City but we're going to have some short-term pain and it's going to be real pain."

Although the full extent of the layoffs aren't known, Business insider has gone through and compiled the list of the most up-to-date data on Wall Street layoffs.

Deutsche Bank

Number of people cut so far: Unknown, but people were cut in June.

Unit affected: A source at the bank told us some big names were cut, he knew of about 5, and for every big trader let go, it means 10 people in the back-office left.

Location of layoffs: New York, probably elsewhere

Number of people expected to be laid off: Up to 500

Reason for layoffs: Missing Q3 and full-year profit targets, is taking big writedown on Greek debt
