Wall Street is a weird place. There are people pulling down multimillion-dollar bonuses on top of million-dollar salaries. Those lucky few are people like Goldman, Sachs vice presidents. (Forty percent of all GS employees are vice presidents.) There are also floor brokers, specialists and cold callers, and those folks make between half a cent per share and three cents per share commission...regardless of the stock price.
The reason Wall Street compensation is so high is because of those really high earners. A large number of people on Wall Street make barely enough to live on, but average the $35,000 and $45,000 people with the $25 million people...

Why is downtown Manhattan called Wall Street?
the reason downtown Manhattan is known as wall street is because when the settlement was originally built there was a dividing wall between the settlers and the native injuns Free-roaming hogs were notorious for rampaging through the precious grain fields of colonial New York city farmers. The Manhattan Island residents chose to limit the forays of these riotous hogs by erecting a long, permentant wall on the northern edge of what is now Lower Manhattan. A street came to border this wall- aptly enough named, Wall Street. The downtown area is not called Wall Street. Wall Street is the name of a street in Downtown Manhattan. There are many neighborhoods that make up Downtown Manhattan such as Chelsea, Soho, China Town, Little Italy and a few more which include the Finacial District where Wall Street is located. Now the street is aptly named Wall Street because it was once a wall, just like Water Street was once a stream and Bridge Street was once a bridge, and so forth. I hope I cleared up any confusion. When the Dutch settled in New York, they built a wall around their colony. This was done to keep intruders out. Eventually the wall was taken down, but pieces of it still remain. This is also the reason why the area around Wall St. is so oddly shaped compared to the rest of Manhattan, which is generally in a grid-like manner.
