this article uses wind terminal data and the formula "total wages for a period = cash paid to employees and for employees + employee wages payable at the end of the period - employee wages payable at the beginning of the period" to roughly calculate the amount of wages paid by each bank during the period, and then calculates the average wage level based on the number of employees disclosed.

it should be noted that since some organizations will distribute year-end bonuses for the previous year in the first half of the year, the average salary in the first half of the year may include year-end bonuses. at the same time, since the salary package includes benefits and taxes, the average monthly salary will be different from the actual salary received by employees.

more than 30,000 employees were laid off, and the number of business offices of many banks declined

according to wind terminal data, compared with the end of 2023, the number of employees of 42 a-share listed banks decreased by more than 30,000 in mid-2024, among which the six state-owned banks reduced their staff by more than 20,000 overall. however, bank of china increased its staff by 1,772.
