Goldman Sachs

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., is an American multinational investment bank and financial services company headquartered in New York City. The bank is one of the largest investment banking enterprises in the world. Former employees of Goldman Sachs have moved on to prominent government positions.

The bank was founded by the Jewish Goldman–Sachs family in 1869. For almost fifty years, all the partners came from the extended family.

"Of the nine(9) Goldman Sachs executive officers, seven(7) are Jews. This is a numerical representation of 78%. Of the twelve(12) Goldman Sachs directors, six(6) are Jews or have Jewish spouses. This is a numerical representation of 50%. Of the thirty-three(33) Goldman Sachs management committee members, twenty(20) are Jews or have Jewish spouses. This is a numerical representation of 61%. Jews are approximately 2% of the U.S. population.* Therefore Jews are over-represented among the Goldman Sachs executive officers by a factor of 39 times(3,900 percent), over-represented on the Goldman Sachs board of directors by a factor of 25 times(2,500 percent), and over-represented on the Goldman Sachs management committee by a factor of 30.5 times(3,050 percent)."
