Many of those who <br />will benefit work for JP Morgan, whose huge third-quarter profit boom helped push the Dow Jones Average over the coveted<br />10,000 mark for the first time in a year. <br /><br />Meanwhile, ordinary American workers continue to see sharp pay cuts and the worst joblessness in 20 years.
