Eric Hodge: Chief Financial Officers say they are a lot more optimistic about the economy in this last quarter of 2010 than they were just a few months ago. Leoneda Inge reports.
Leoneda Inge: More than 800 C-F-Os from across the country – representing public and private companies – were surveyed by Duke University and C-F-O Magazine. Kate O’Sullivan is Senior Editor at C-F-O Magazine. She says 50-percent of the C-F-Os surveyed say their companies plan on spending money in the new year on everything from research and development to full-time hiring.
O’Sullivan says C-F-Os even expect wages to rise 2.5-percent next year. Leoneda Inge – NC Public Radio – WUNC.
