It marked just the second time in five quarters that CEO expectations for the U.S. economy have increased. Survey respondents expect the GDP to grow at a 2.2% annual rate, up from 2.1% expected growth last quarter. "Overall, CEOs see the U.S. economy still on a slow road to recovery," said Jim McNerney, chairman of the Business Roundtable and the chairman, president and CEO of Boeing. "Relative to economic conditions, business performance remains strong, but the U.S. government's unresolved long-term fiscal path and an uncertain political environment are key obstacles to more robust economic growth and hiring." More than 140 members took part in the survey, which is available at the link below. http://businessroundtable.org/news-center/ceos-expect-slight-increase-in-u.s.-economic-output-in-2013/ _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Demand Success with Social, Content, Search and Publicity!
