Miller Nash LLP has announced the results of its 2011 Business Outlook Survey, in which Washington State business leaders overwhelmingly indicated they felt their revenues would increase, and that they would hire in the coming year.
The firm said more than 200 company leaders responded to the survey, which was conducted amongst attendees at Seattle Business magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” event held last month in Seattle.
According to Miller Nash, results from the survey included:
• 90 percent of those surveyed anticipated that their revenues would increase.
• 66 percent said that they planned to hire within the year.
• 67 percent said they felt positive about the economy as a whole.
• 51 percent anticipated using more outside consultants or contract services in the coming year.
• Half of those surveyed reported concern over the possible impact of governmental regulations on their business, indicating uncertainty among the respondents.
