"The Wolf of Wall Street" not only won over the box office, it also generated a lot of interest in stockbroker jobs.

<p class="p1"><span>The movie, of course, follows the rise and fall of Jordan Belfort's Stratton Oakmont brokerage firm.</span>

<p class="p1">According to a four-month study by job site Indeed.com, there was a spike in the number of searches for stockbroker positions leading up to and around the release of the Martin Scorsese film.

<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Indeed saw a 79.6% increase in stockbroker job searches in the U.S. and a 44% increase in the U.K.</span>

<p class="p1">The study sampled more than 100 million job search queries on its site.

<p class="p1">The company also conducted an additional two-year study to confirm this is the "most significant" Indeed has seen in stockbroker job search queries.

<p class="p1">Indeed did not have any results on how many people applied for related jobs.
