CEO Sentiment Slides

Survey suggests chief executives in the U.S. are a bit less optimistic in Q3 than they were in Q2.

Released last week, the Q3/2014 CEO Economic Outlook Index from the Business Roundtable indicates that corporate executives are slightly more pessimistic today than they were three months ago.

And 73 percent expect revenue at their organization to grow within the next six months.
