HIRING OUTLOOK / INFLATION CONCERNS / FACE MASKS IN THE WORKPLACE
The business outlook among mid-market CEOs continues to improve, but their optimism is tempered by concerns about rising post-pandemic inflation, according to the latest CEO survey from Marcum LLP and Hofstra University’s Frank G. Zarb School of Business.
About 90 percent of CEOs rated their economic outlook at a “5” or higher, up from 75 percent in the April 2021 survey. Nearly half - about 47percent - said their outlook ranked at an “8” or higher, compared to 33 percent in the previous Marcum-Hofstra poll.
