While more employees are receiving bonuses, the size of the
bonus isn’t as large as bonuses given in the previous year. The
economic upswing has brought a shift in how bonuses are
distributed. Employers are widening the net and trying to keep
more of their staff happy by looking after more junior and mid-
level employees. This has meant a reduction in the bounty for
some employees.

were in the 11%-20% range. 7% of bonuses were above
