Skills are "far more important" than having a college degree for many jobs, he added. Dimon said JP Morgan Chase has eliminated degree requirements for most jobs at the bank and pivoted toward more skills-based hiring. About 80% of JP Morgan Chase's current roles for "experienced hires," or candidates with full-time work experience, don't require a college degree, a company spokesperson confirmed to Fortune. For context, 62% of Americans don't have a college degree, according to the latest Census data. That means degree requirements can lock out millions of job seekers with alternative qualifications from high-paying opportunities.

REUTERS/Mike Segar/File PhotoAug 1 (Reuters) - Tech giants Apple (AAPL.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) remained the top two global companies by market capitalisation at the end of July after riding this year's rally in technology shares. Strong quarterly earnings from companies such as Alphabet (GOOGL.O), Meta Platforms (META.O), chipmaker Intel (INTC.O) and chip equipment maker Lam Research (LRCX.O) lifted overall market sentiment last month. Facebook-owner Meta's market cap jumped more than 10% in July, thanks to the company's rosy revenue forecast and robust ad revenue growth in the second quarter. Its market cap stood at $2.49 trillion at the end of July. Refinitiv data shows 69% of large- and mid-cap U.S. companies have surpassed analysts' Q2 earnings estimates so far, with the tech sector accounting for 82% of these positive surprises.

Javice is accused of grossly exaggerating the numbers of customers she had before her sale to JP Morgan. After hat after the initial deception to JP Morgan Chase, Javice and Amar pivoted to another, Fergenson said. Javice and Amar presented it all in a spreadsheet to JP Morgan Chase, representing all of the names to be Frank users, Fergenson said. Javice's attorney, Alex Spiro, who has alleged that JP Morgan Chase is retaliating against his client for her exposure of their violating of privacy laws, objected. "The government is just regurgitating to the court JP Morgan Chase's civil lawsuit," he said.
