We've been running a financial markets job losses league table for a few weeks now, and several readers have asked if we could recast the league table based on the percentage of financial markets jobs lost in the various firms. So, we have.

The figures below are based on our best estimates. In many cases, the firms themselves won't confirm (for obvious reasons) the number of staff they are letting go. In the case of Bear Stearns, JPMorgan, Royal Bank of Scotland / ABN AMRO and Thomson Reuters, we have used the job loss projections published in the mainstream media.

Bear Stearns - 7,500 job losses, 14,000 financial markets jobs, 53.5% of the total

Wachovia - 1,200, 3,900, 30.7%

Citi - 7,900, 30,000, 26.3%

Royal Bank of Scotland / ABN AMRO - 7,000, 28,000, 25%

WestLB - 1,530, 6,120, 25%

Fortis / ABN AMRO Asset Management - 490, 2000, 24.5%

Thomas Weisel Partners - 160, 800, 20%

UBS - 4,380, 22,000, 19.9%

Bank of America - 3,650, 20,000, 18.2%

Lehman Brothers - 5,000, 30,000, 16.6%

Mizuho Financial Group - 300, 2,000, 15%

Morgan Stanley - 5,400, 47,050, 11.4%

Jefferies & Co - 250, 2,200, 11.3%

Fitch Ratings - 130, 1,400, 9.2%

Moody's Investor Services - 180, 3,000, 6%
