DALLAS — Texas business executives are more optimistic about the nation’s economic outlook than their peers in other states, even though more than a quarter of them have started or are considering layoffs.
That’s the key finding of a survey of over 500 C-level and senior executives across the U.S. on their economic outlook for the next year. Digital consulting firm West Monroe, which has a Dallas office, said its survey included 51 executives from Texas, 69 from California, 43 from Florida, 32 from Illinois and 53 from New York.
Of the executives polled, those in Texas were the least likely to be considering layoffs over the next six months.
