Salaires : Les top managers gagnent toujours plus

LE TEMPS: Les écarts de salaires ont augmenté l’an dernier dans les emplois les plus qualifiés. La rémunération des top managers a connu une forte hausse notamment dans le secteur financier. La valeur moyenne des bonus ne cesse de progresser. La part des emplois à bas salaire recule

Le salaire médian brut s’est élevé à 5823 francs en 2008, selon l’enquête présentée mardi par l’Office fédéral de la statistique (OFS). Cette notion théorique signifie que la moitié des employés ont reçu davantage que 5823 francs, l’autre moitié moins.

La hausse, qui a atteint 2,6% depuis le dernier relevé en 2006, est moins forte que le renchérissement de 3,2% intervenu depuis. Pour beaucoup d’employés, le salaire réel a donc reculé.

Fury at $2.5bn Lehman Bonus

TIMESONLINE: Nomura and Barclays table bids today for US giant’s London operation as bank’s administrator likens collapse to Enron

STAFF at Lehman’s New York office who helped to cause the world’s biggest corporate bankruptcy are to share in a $2.5 billion bonanza.

The bonus, which has been described by London staff as a “scandal” has been pledged by Barclays Capital, the British-based bank that last week acquired Lehman’s American operation and took on 10,000 staff.

The $2.5 billion (£1.4 billion) pot, which has been ring-fenced as part of the acquisition, has caused huge resentment among the 5,000 staff in the firm’s European and Middle Eastern operations who are not guaranteed to be paid after this month.

There are, however, hopes that half the jobs in Lehman’s Canary Wharf office could be saved today by either Barclays or Nomura. Bids are being submitted for its UK equities and investment-banking business. Fury at $2.5bn Lehman Bonus >>> By John Waples and Danny Fortson | Septemebr 21, 2008

MAIL Online:
FBI Launches Investigation into Collapsed Finance Giants: The FBI is investigating four major U.S. financial institutions whose collapse has forced George Bush's administration to launch a $700 billion bail-out.

Federal investigators are said to be looking at potential fraud by mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, investment bankers Lehman Brothers and insurers AIG.
The probe, still in its opening stages, will focus on the financial institutions and their top managers.
