ELI5: What are the people on the floor of the NYSE actually doing?
gpt
Most of the people on the floor are tech support and management. They're around to keep everything running smoothly, handle issues, etc...

There is still some physical (non electronic) trading being done on the floor, but not much. A small number of companies get traded this way.

There's also a fair num of people there just to look around. It's not unusual to see people there for IPO's, press events, etc...
