A world of mixed fortunes

Junior investment bankers at Morgan Stanley are about to get a €15,000 pay rise, bringing their salaries to €100,000.

It is the latest Wall Street bank to increase staff salaries following complaints about the industry’s gruelling working conditions.

At the same time Scarlett Johansson claims Disney deprived her of $50 million in earnings by releasing ‘Black Widow’ both in cinemas and on streaming.

According to 2019 figures the number of undernourished  people in the world has declined from 15 to 8.9 per cent. It means approximately 690 million people are undernourished.

A world of mixed fortunes.
