In the financial crisis of 2008, the stock market lost more than $7 trillion in value, and large numbers of very highly paid workers in the financial services industry lost their jobs.

The richest 1 percent of the population own about 36.7 percent of the stocks, estimates New York University economist Edward Wolff.
