Wall Street is looking a lot more diverse -- at least for the summer.

This year’s crop of interns is Bank of America Corp.’s “most diverse group ever,” the lender told investors on its second-quarter earnings call. Women comprise 45 percent of the current class -- up from 42 percent in 2017 -- while non-white interns make up 55 percent. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. report similar numbers.
