The Business Roundtable's (BRT) latest quarterly survey of CEOs released on Wednesday found a small decrease in expectations for economic growth for the next six months, and 50 percent of respondents said inaction in Congress on issues such as the debt ceiling negatively affects plans for hiring at their companies.
no republicans said it was ObamaCares that would hurt business and prevent them from hiring, did they lie to us again?
This quarter's survey "reflects an economy that continues to grow, but slowly and not to its full potential," said McNerney, who is also chairman, president and CEO ofBoeing.The survey also addressed whether disagreement in Congress was to blame for lackluster economic optimism. When BRT asked executives whether disagreement on the 2014 budget and the debt ceiling in Congress has a negative impact on their plans for hiring for the next six months, 41 percent responded "somewhat" and 9 percent said it would have a "much more negative impact," Business Roundtable President John Engler said during the conference call.
i'm confused the republicans who supposedly side with big business which is only place you'll find CEO's, said it was Pres. and his health care that will bring big business down stop hiring cut hours firings, but those same people are basically saying republicans are lying it's not that it's them, will the real bogeyman please stand up?
