3.04.2014
Planned Hiring Climbs to 7-Year High in Q1 2014 Vistage CEO Confidence Index.
CEOs in the latest Vistage survey maintained their economic optimism at the same high level as in late 2013, despite the negative impact
from the harsh winter. The Vistage CEO Confidence Index was 101.3 in the 1st quarter 2014 survey, virtually identical to the 101.5 in the 4th quarter of 2013, but well above the 96.6 in last year’s 1st quarter. The past two surveys set the highest average six- month level of confidence in three years. The harsh winter was reflected in more negative evaluations of current economic conditions, but firms reported increases in employment and investment
intentions compared to either last quarter and last year.
