HONG KONG (CNNMoney) -- Swiss bank UBS said Tuesday it intends to slash 10,000 jobs as the firm pares back its investment banking arm. The restructuring will save the bank more than $3. 6 billion over three years, according to the firm's estimates. The loss of 10,000 bankers represents more than 15% of the bank's workforce, which will fall to a total of 54,000 employees by 2015. "This decision has been a difficult one, particularly in a business such as ours that is all about its people," CEO Sergio P. Ermotti said in a statement. The layoffs are one of the industry's largest staff reductions since the financial crisis ripped through Wall Street firms. Ermotti said some of the cuts would come through attrition, but others will surely be involuntary as the bank shuts down entire sectors of its business.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
