Manufacturing CEOs Say 2024 Presidential Election Will Be ‘Pivotal,’ New ‘American Manufacturing Resilience’ Survey From Zogby Strategies and Xometry Reveals - Seite 2
The survey also found:
- The overwhelming majority (94%) are “somewhat likely” (19%) “very likely” (60%) or “definitely” (14%) raising prices in 2024.
- 61% of CEOs plan to increase hiring in 2024 with 36% maintaining existing employment levels. Nearly two-thirds (63%) said they continue to have difficulty finding qualified employees.
- 80% plan to increase wages this year.
The CEO sentiments reflect those of voters nationwide. In a series of separate surveys earlier this year, Zogby and Xometry polled registered voters in each of the first five primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada and Michigan. Those surveys found that voters realize manufacturing is pivotally important to their states’ economies as well as to that of the nation as a whole.
“Voters and business leaders alike agree: Manufacturing is the engine that pushes our country forward,” Altschuler said. “America’s electorate supports public-private partnerships that strengthen American manufacturing, including worker training in automation, robotics and AI. They also support public investment in companies that advance our country’s standing in global manufacturing.”
