Business Roundtable's survey shows little change
The Vermont Business Roundtables First Quarter 2005 CEO Economic Outlook Survey, show that projections for both sales and employment levels are virtually unchanged from the previous survey period, however a greater percentage of CEOs is projecting an increase in capital expenditures over the coming six months.
Higher capital expenditures are forecasted for the next six-month period (10% above last quarter), but still down from this time last year. Sales projections are virtually the same as last quarter, but down from responses from this time last year. And, projected employment levels are down slightly from last quarter, though by and large, very similar to this time last year.
