NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- For Wall Street, JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s (JPM) deal to buy Bear Stearns Cos. (BSC) means the end of a storied investment bank. For New York City's economy, it almost certainly means another round of recession-tinged layoffs.
The woes currently plaguing Wall Street banks, while global in nature, have a decidedly local feel for the city's economy. The tri-state metropolitan marketplace, reaching from Connecticut to New Jersey by way of Manhattan, depends heavily on the cash that Wall Street's financial institutions spend in the area - especially those famously large annual bonuses that firms' pay their ranks of professionals.

March 17 (Bloomberg) -- UBS AG, Europe's biggest bank by assets, fell the most in more than nine years in Swiss trading after reports that the company may cut as many as 8,000 jobs, sell a U.S. unit and raise more capital.
UBS fell 3.94 Swiss francs, or 14 percent, to 24.5 francs. That marked the biggest decline since September 1998 and the lowest level since October that year, three months after UBS was created in a merger. Credit-default swaps on the Zurich-based bank jumped 25 basis points to 235, according to Deutsche Bank AG.

Wall Street's pink slip parade
Job losses at Bear Stearns after the JPMorgan buyout could launch another big round of layoffs in the banking sector. And those jobs may never come back.
