"Federal statistics released last week show that Wall Streeters earned an average weekly pretax paycheck of $16,918 in the first quarter of this year. That’s $879,736 annually. In the first quarter of 2003, those same finance types earned $7,051 per week, which means average paychecks have risen 140 percent in four years. Of course, everything else in New York has gotten more expensive, too."
