The obvious statement is, “there is nowhere to go but up."
According to a survey of Business Leaders for Michigan, this ascent from the doldrums may be a lot sooner than most think. Crain’s Detroit Business reported the following results from that survey:
- 44% of respondents believe Michigan’s economy will grow in the next six months
- Zero respondents believe Michigan’s economy will get worse
- 64% of respondents believe that the national economy will be about the same over the next six months
- 60% of respondents believe Michigan’s economy will grow in the next eighteen months
- 44% of respondents believe the national economy will increase in the next eighteen months
- 52% of respondents project their companies will ad jobs in the next six months. More than one-third plan to make capital expenditures.
