Since last July, when the whole credit crunch started the top banks had to cut around 150,000 jobs. Analysts say it can get a lot worse after the rescue-mergers and government bailouts settle. The biggest loser of this year is clearly Citi Group: they fired 23,660 people or 6.3% of workforce, reported about $60bn (£38bn) of writedowns since the start of the credit crisis, including a $13bn writedown earlier this month.
