Size of the workforce in the investment banking sector worldwide 2015-2020

Published by Statista Research Department, May 30, 2022
In the first quarter of 2020, there were 49,000 full-time employees working at the 12 largest investment banks globally, which is five percent lower than the same quarter in the previous year. This decrease is the largest in the past six years and can most likely be attributed to the global recession which is due to follow the COVID-19 pandemic.
