It's all about what you measure. My first reaction to this article (Most CEOs confident about companies' growth) was, "Ha! I blogged just the opposite yesterday upon seeing that consumer confidence was down again." Then I read the single-paragraph filler item from the Globe & Mail. Here's the first sentence: "A survey of some of the fastest-growing technology firms in North America found that chief executive officers are increasingly bullish about the future and are prepared to hire more workers than they were a year earlier." [Emphasis mine]
So, let's see: ask the leaders of fast-growing businesses if they're bullish; what are the odds of getting a "yes"? Pretty high, I would guess. And that appears to be proven out in the survey.
Well, at least it's not just a simple divide between those making millions per year and everyone else earning . . . a little less.
