Wall Street jobs  

Definition

  • Wall Street is a crucial site for the analysis of growing socioeconomic inequality in the United States, the multiple ramifications of an economy that privileges financialization, and the particular kinds of labor, values, and practices that characterize our contemporary workplace. The financial industry has, in the past 30 years, led a wholesale restructuring in how corporations value and understand work and workers.
