Return to the Office / Impact of Gas Prices / Impact of COVID-19
After remaining steady through the first half of 2022, CEOs' economic outlook took a dive in the two months since the last Marcum-Hofstra survey.
The percentage of CEOs who rated their business outlook at an "8" or higher declined 10 points between April and June, to 34 percent. Those rating their outlook at a "5" or higher was down 9 points, to 74 percent.
CEO optimism took the biggest hit in the construction, financial institutions and services, healthcare and professional services industries. For example, just 11 percent of mid-market CEOs in the financial services industry rated their confidence at an "8" or higher, compared to 50 percent just two months ago.
