Wall Street Is Not Cold For Colds.

In recent days, Chrysler of the United States has been reorganized by Fiat, and general motors is also on the verge of bankruptcy. The financial turmoil continues. Since last September, the name of Wall Street has been constantly affecting people's nerves.

As the birthplace of the global financial turmoil, what does this narrow and crowded street bring to the world?

Wall Street white-collar workers can't spend 4 dollars on shoes.

Wall Street is located in the Manhattan District of New York. It is not more than a mile long and only 11 meters wide. In its 200 years of history, Wall Street has not only witnessed the ups and downs of the American financial industry, but also the capital promoter of all important links in the US economic development.

Walking on the street, reporters did not see people wearing the masks carefully because of the spread of the flu virus, but did not see that the economic crisis changed the usual noise and haste.

"What's your name?"

"Neal."

Neal told reporters that although he studied library management, he could be lucky to find a job.

Neal: "I'm a little scared. I graduated from school in January and found this job. I was lucky to get two jobs. I know that some people have been looking for a job since last May. They spent a lot of money on school, but now they can't find a job, so it's bad for them."

Reporter: "now the new flu has started again. Do you think it makes the situation worse?"

Neal: "I'm not afraid of it. I've had avian flu before, so I'm not very worried. I was the first time I encountered the recession in the United States during this period. What I am most worried about is the uncertain future. I have deep anxiety about the future."

Reporter: "this is a very famous shoe shop on Wall Street. It has a history of more than 10 years. Because its service quality is very good, the Wall Street elites like to visit here, but the staff here told me that even after the financial crisis, even the elite of Wall Street did not shine on shoes. They used to be full of people before, but today I came here and found nobody here."

The boss of shoe store, Harpers told me that the cost of shoeshine was also $two, and that a Wall Street journal was $$.

Shoe store owner Harpers: "revenue has decreased by 35% or 40%, and people used to rub their shoes once a week, but now they may not even wipe them for two weeks."

As the saying goes, people first look at shoes, especially in the west, people pay more attention to shoes and even more than their faces. For the elite of Wall Street who pay great attention to the instrument, the importance of a pair of clean and bright shoes is self-evident to their status and work.
