differences. The differences are probably due to the nature of the two

that ten thousand more ones will be cut in the near future. They also 
talk about past wages from the 1980s and 1990s. Both articles state 
that 2010 was the best year on record in Wall Street. The 2008 crisis 
in Wall Steet is also disussed in both articles.

The articles are different because the New York Post goes into a lot 
more detail. The article in the New York Post is longer and has a lot 
more facts overall. It states specific wage figures for all of the 
years discussed. It also talks about how from January 2010 to April 
2011, nine thousand nine hundred jobs were added. It then states that 
 from April 2011 to August 2011, four thousand one hundred jobs were 
lost. These two facts were not mentioned in the New York Times article 
at all. The figures for the finance payrolls are also slightly 
different. The New York Times states tha the payroll has been trimmed 
by twelve percent, whereas the New York Post says seventeen percent.
