Are investment bankers and traders facing near-extinction very soon? Yes, according to analyst Meredith Whitney.
“We are on the precipice of a seismic downsizing on Wall Street, the likes of which have never occurred before,” said Whitney in a recent research note to clients, acquired by the New York Post.
Whitney says the financial sector is set to see layoffs of up to 100,000 or as much as 15% of the work force in the next 18 months, as banks contract and muddle through a sluggish economy.
Several banks have already announced layoffs in the last several months, including J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.jpm JPM , Bank of America Corp. BAC , Citigroup Inc. C and HSBC Holdings Plc HBC .

Bank of America announced 16,000 layoffs in September.
HSBC announced 14,000 layoffs in May. Citigroup announced 11,000 layoffs in December.
