JP Morgan Cutting 17,000 Jobs – Banking Has Turned Down

"We warned that the banks have turned the corner when their cycle finished last year. The NY Post has come out stating that being a banker is not so great anymore. When the ECM turns down 2015.75 into 2020, things for the banks are going to get a lot worse. They are hated perhaps even more than politicians. Their proprietary trading has destroyed the industry and been the worst public image than any sector can have."


TOPICS: Business/Economy
KEYWORDS: banking; economy
Headline is the news.

The ECM is his Economic Confidence Model.

Try getting a loan originator or underwriter job these days. You’d have an easier time as a blacksmith or wheelwright.

As smart ATM’s and online banking become the norm it was bound to happen.

“As smart ATM’s and online banking become the norm it was bound to happen.”

The back-office work and client support (much of which can’t be automated) has been leaving the US for years; this has played a big role in impoverishing the northeast.

I agree.

Re-fis are dead as rates trend up.
Lots of the home sales are cash deals.

Mortgage volume is down.

GE’s prospectus says they have 131,000 total USA employees.
And you say they are elimination 100,000 of them?
