RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – Executives’ optimism about the economy are at their highlest level since 2018 with expectations that business will “roar back” this year as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic fades, according to a new survey.
And that means a collective boost in plans to hire.
One third of executives polled in the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants’ quarterly survey say then plan to hire more workers. Only 4% expect to cut workers. But demand for talent is really higher.
“On the other side of the equation, 47% of our respondents indicated they had too few employees,” the AICPA which has a major presence in the Triangle, reported early Thursday. “Only 14% are hesitating because of current conditions, 33% are planning to hire in the near future, continuing to tick up from recent quarters.”
