Seventy-one percent of U.S. CEOs are more confident about the economy now than one year ago, according to a new survey by Framingham executive search company Polachi Inc.
The survey of more than 100 CEOs across the country also found that 58 percent of the executives plan to hire new employees in 2012 and another 18 percent may do so.
The financial crisis in Europe is a concern for respondents, with 46 percent saying global economic concerns will impact business, but 86 percent expect to see economic growth in 2012.
