White House Budget Seeks 10% Increase In SEC Staff
Tuesday, February 2, 2010 : PermalinkWSJ – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission would be able to add 374 new investigators, examiners, and other staffers if President Barack Obama’s budget request for close to $1.3 billion for the regulator is granted by Congress, SEC officials said Monday.
The boost for fiscal year 2011, which begins Oct. 1, would represent about a 10% increase in the SEC staff, from about 3,800 currently to just under 4,200.
