Daily Digit: $20 Billion Bonus Pool

Description:The Daily Digit is $20 billion. The total for Wall Street cash bonuses is forecast to have risen to $20 billion in 2012, according to New York State's Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. It's the highest level since 2010 and up 8 percent from a year ago, but still below pre-crisis levels. The $20 billion translate into $121,900 average cash bonus for a Wall Street worker. But its likely that fewer of them will be getting those bonuses next year... because they will be out of a job. (1:00)
