Tip: BNY Mellon Hires Across Bank

Wealth management is the area of finance that keeps on giving. BNY Mellon Wealth Management recently made a number of appointments and opened an office in Washington, D.C., its first in that city. More broadly, Chief Executive Gerald Hassell said the bank will continue to grow in Boston after adding 1,200 employees in the area over the past four years.

Tip: Finance Sector Adds Jobs in Some Areas

Finance hiring is admittedly pretty glum right now for most practice areas, but last month, the sector added 6,600 jobs in credit intermediation and related activities (in other words, commercial banks) and mortgage companies, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Companies like JPMorgan are expanding their retail network strategy, albeit at a slower pace. Low mortgage rates, which have fueled a refinancing surge, have prompted demand for mortgage professionals like loan processors and underwriters.
