Study Of Bank-Robbing Shows It Isn't A Lucrative Job

A team of economists studied bank heists in the U.S. and U.K. to figure out whether bank robbery is a lucrative profession. The research, published in the journal Significance, found the average takeaway per robber is about $4,000 in the U.S. There's a much better return in the U.K., closer to $20,000.
