No doubt these are sad times. The economy is crashing and burning in a terrific, America-changing (oh and probably the rest of the world too) flameout. No image—not a hobo running for a boxcar, not a Dorothea Lange migrant mother pensively contemplating the fate of all things—captures the ruinous emotions of the past several weeks than sad stock market floor traders. Yes those poor suited men and women who clutch their faces in utter shock and disbelief, flashes of years spent (and maybe wasted) trudging through business school running through their minds as the numbers plunge and plunge. We've a chief compiler of these images in Sad Guys On Trading Floors, a Tumblr blog of woe and despair. After the jump we've put together a gallery of our favorite devastating photos. Poor guys.
All images from Sad Guys On Trading Floors, and there are lots more on that site. And Men.style.com has a gallery too.
