[sufrommich]

"In a clear sign of Wall Street's rebound, investment firms are producing record profits this year and the average bonus could rise as much as 40 percent over 2008."

"Meanwhile, in a sign of the disparity between Wall Street and Main Street, the rest of New York City continues to suffer, according to the report, which notes that industries are still hurting and that the recovery is "expected to be slower" in the city than in the nation as a whole."
