We've been asking you to respond to just one simple question, as we try to find out what staff really thought of their last bonus.

You are being asked: 'Were you happy with your 2005 bonus ?'

And we have used the thousands of responses we have already received to compile a 'Staff Bonus Approval Rating' for each firm.

So far, 52.1% of staff who responded to our survey said that they were happy with their last bonus payout.

Here's the latest league table, expressed in terms of a % of staff for each firm who have responded, and indicated that their were happy with their 2005 bonus:

1. Goldman Sachs - 91.2%

2. Credit Suisse - 81.2%

3. JP Morgan - 71.4%

4. Bank of America - 66.4%

5. HSBC Investment Bank - 65.2%

6. Lehman Brothers - 64.3%

7. Deutsche Bank - 63.7%

8. BNP Paribas - 62.4%

9. ABN Amro - 61.7%

10. UBS - 61.2%

11. Morgan Stanley - 59.7%

12. Barclays Capital - 57.1%

13. Panmure Gordon - 51.3%

14. Northern Trust - 49.2%

17. DrKW - 36.5%

18. Schroders - 34.8%
