A bank holding company whose filing states its total and full-time count and nothing by business.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading

By the patterns, the work is about 68% desk work, 23% people work and 9% body work.
