"Private sector employees across the nation share several common concerns including workforce shortages, the economy, and taxes. For over 15 years this poll has helped shaped our policy agenda in New York State and informed public officials as to the challenges facing business leaders. As the Chair of NASC I am eager to share this survey with my colleagues across the country so they too can use this tool as a way to improve the business climate and grow our economies all across the country."

"CEOs across Upstate, buffeted by inflation, say they face a challenging year. Many are frustrated that despite a need for quality talent, they struggle to recruit and retain employees. Still, two-thirds proudly predict that their businesses will remain vibrant in New York for another decade. We hope this study serves not only to demonstrate the current hurdles our businesses face but also to invite students and young people to bring their energy and openness to disruptive technologies, to businesses and the workforce, and to ultimately create a new and prosperous New York."
