+10000 I've always maintained that Wall Street is way fairer to its employees than the Valley. Most investment banks and hedge funds offer great bonuses to their traders/analysts as they should -- they are the ones bringing in money. Relative to the value engineers create for firms like Apple/FB/Google, its easy to see they see peanuts of that value.



Sports is another industry where the employees are paid quite fairly relative to the owners. This is often missed when people complain about someone getting paid millions to throw a ball. The alternative is that the owners of the teams make even more.

The other thing to note is that most athletes in America's sports industry are unionised.
