Survey: CEOs Expect Hiring, Spending to Grow

NEW YORK -- More than half of the chief executives of large U.S. companies say they expect to spend and hire more over the next six months despite slower economic growth.

The Business Roundtable says 51 percent of CEOs polled expect to increase hiring. Last quarter's level of 52 percent had been the highest since the trade group began surveying its members in 2002.
