Audience members at the 2016 Economic Forecast last week showed optimism for what 2016 holds. As part of the event, attendees participated in a live poll to gauge their thoughts about the new year.
When asked if they were more or less optimistic about the Triangle’s business environment in regards to the latest increase to interest rates, 59 percent of those polled responded “about the same” and 30 percent replied “more optimistic.” Only 8 percent of those surveyed said they were “much less optimistic” or “less optimistic.
Of the 164 attendees who responded to the second question about how they expect their business’s growth to be effected, 56 anticipated it to increase 3 to 5 percent and 33 said business should grow by more than 10 percent. Thirteen people expected business to stay the same, and just two foresaw a decrease.
Go here to see the full poll results—including the answers to two other questions.
