the rest are in the U.S. and European offices. HSBC employs a
total of about 335,000 globally. The bank has written down losses of
$18.7 billion since the start of the global credit crunch last year.

It looks like there will be even more pink slips on Wall Street. HSBC Holdings plc is the latest bank to announce layoffs due to economic conditions. The bank is laying off 1,100 jobs in its global banking and markets division worldwide.
Despite the stats, I still see thousands of high paying jobs posted on employment sites -
www.linkedin.com (networking)
www.indeed.com (aggregated lists)
www.realmatch.com (matches you to jobs)
I see 75K, 125K and 150K jobs
