Nearly one-third of the economists surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics said their companies added jobs in the April-June quarter, according to a report released Monday. That's the highest percentage in nearly two years. And 39 percent expect their firms will hire more in the next six months. That's near the two-year high of 40 percent reached in the January-March quarter. The hiring pickup occurred even though sales and profit growth slowed in the second quarter. Optimism about future economic growth increased. Nearly three- quarters of the survey respondents forecast growth of 2.1 percent or more over the next 12 months. That's up from two- thirds in the first quarter survey, released in April, and the most in a year. The quarterly survey's results echo much of the recent data tracking the economy. Growth has been slow in the past nine months, but employers have added jobs at a healthy pace. Many economists anticipate that the steady hiring will help accelerate growth in the second half of this year. The NABE surveyed 65 of its member economists between June 18 and July 2. The economists work for companies from a variety of industries, including manufacturing, transportation and utilities, finance, retail and other services. Among the findings: — Only about 35 percent of the respondents said sales at their firms increased in the second quarter. That's sharply lower than the 55 percent who reported rising sales in the first quarter. And 15 percent said sales fell, up from 9 percent in the first quarter. — Profit growth also slowed: Only 21 percent of respondents said profit margins increased last quarter, down from 29 percent in the first. — Only 19 percent of economists said their firms were raising wages and salaries, down from 31 percent in April and the lowest proportion since October. — A small but increasing minority of respondents say that government spending cuts and tax increases have hurt their businesses. Twenty-six percent of the economists said their firms were negatively impacted, up from only 16 percent in April. Still, 74 percent said the government policies had no impact on their businesses, though that's down from 79 percent three months earlier. http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/survey-brighter-us-economic- outlook-boosts-hiring-19730977 What kind of moron would try and spin bad numbers like this using a survey?
