Goldman Sachs offices at the Fraumünsterplatz in Zürich (the light-colored building on the left)
Goldman Sachs employed 26,467 people worldwide. It reported earnings of US$9.54 billion and record earnings per share of $19.69.
[8] It was reported that the average total compensation per employee in 2006 was US$622,000.
[9] However, this number represents the arithmetic mean of total compensation and is highly skewed upwards as several hundred of the top earners command the majority of the Bonus Pools, leaving the median that most employees earn well below this number.
[10] The current Chief Executive Officer is
Lloyd C. Blankfein. The company ranks #1 in Annual
Net Income when compared with 86 peers in the Investment Services sector.
Recently Goldman Sachs has been increasingly involved in both advising and brokering deals to privatize major highways by selling them off to foreign investors. In addition to advising Indiana on the Toll Road deal, Goldman Sachs has worked with Texas governor Rick Perry's administration on privatization projects, and according to John Schmidt, the former adviser to the Chicago mayor's office, it was a Goldman Sachs representative who first pitched the city on the idea of leasing out the Skyway. Goldman Sachs has played a major role in advising states on how to structure privatization deals—even while positioning itself to invest in the toll road market.[11]
