CFO Optimism Not As Strong

Chief Financial Officers are beginning to get nervous again about the economy.  That鈥檚 the latest from a quarterly report by Duke University and C-F-O Magazine. 

  Six months ago 鈥� C-F-Os were talking about increasing full-time employment by 2-percent over the next year.  Now it鈥檚 more like point-seven percent. Kate O鈥橲ullivan is the deputy editor of C-F-O Magazine.  Despite falling optimism, O鈥橲ullivan says things are looking up for people who already have jobs.

Kate O'Sullivan:  "Sixty-one percent of firms who cut workers hours will be increasing those hours back to pre-recession levels within the next year if they haven鈥檛 already."

And more than 40-percent of C-F-Os surveyed said they will restore 401-K retirement contributions.  Public and private companies are also spending money on capital improvements 鈥� which could eventually lead to increased employment.
